The CBA Difference

What are the hours of operation?

All of our locations are open Monday through Friday from 7am - 6pm. We believe in providing team members with a healthy work-life balance. Enjoy the weekend!

What type of vehicles and repairs does the shop specialize in?

Our shop offers auto repair services and maintenance for every vehicle. Gas or diesel, foreign or domestic, car or truck - no matter the vehicle, we have the expertise and experience to fix it right the first time.

What diagnostic equipment and tools are available?

What truly sets us apart is the CBA Diagnostic Suite—a custom-built, Windows-based diagnostic platform that connects directly to OEM software—paired with OEM pass-through devices for GM, Ford, and Stellantis, the DrewTech CarDaqPlus3 for broader coverage including Honda, Toyota, and Nissan, and advanced aftermarket scan tools like the iScan3 and Autel Maxisys Ultra, all of which give our technicians dealership-level diagnostic and programming capabilities across nearly all makes and models.

Is there an internal training program for team members?

Yes! We have spent countless hours developing our Learning Management System, The Flywheel, to support team members in their learning journeys. Here's some of what you will find on The Flywheel:

Team member onboarding
How to guides and CBA best practices
Custom learn by path and job role

Is this shop location managed by a central office or headquarters?

No, each location is individually owned and operated. This means that while we share a common brand and mission, each shop is run by an independent party.

What in-person training is available?

Team members have the opportunity to attend in-person training events at our Support Center in Houston, TX, as well as regional events held by the Service Development team and trusted vendors.

What type of support is available with difficult or problem repairs/diagnostics?

At Christian Brothers Automotive, you're never left to tackle tough jobs on your own. Our in-house Technical Assistance Center (T.A.C.) is made up of experienced Master L1 techs who are here to walk alongside you when you're working through challenging diagnostics or repairs. Whether it's drivability issues, electrical concerns, or complex system strategies, our role is to guide, support, and help you think through the next steps. We don't just give answers, we work with you so you can build confidence, sharpen your skills, and keep moving forward with clarity.

What is the structure of a team member's pay?

Our shop has several different pay structures depending on the role and skill level. We offer hourly, salary, and flat-rate structures.

Meet the owners

Owned & Operated By Tim and Amelia Poppy

It all started for Tim and Amelia Poppy with a desire to align their career with their family values by working for a genuinely faith-based, Christian company. God answered those prayers by leading them to the Christian Brothers Automotive Polaris.

Prior to joining the CBA family, Tim was a farm boy who worked in construction for over 25 years, starting out hands-on in the field and working his way up. Amelia has worked in mediation, sales, and marketing after completing her undergraduate degree with a B.A. in English and then receiving her law degree from OSU. As of 2024, they have celebrated 26 years of marriage and enjoy raising their four sons. The Poppys are active members of the community through church, the Worthington school system, sports (wrestling, cross country, water polo, swimming, track), and Boy Scouts. An integral part of their lives is family involvement with Bible Study Fellowship (BSF).

As a family, they love nature and enjoy skiing, snowboarding, riding dirt bikes, boating and water sports of all kinds, fishing, art, music, playing games, and gathering with their large extended families from all over the country.

As owners of Christian Brothers Automotive Polaris, Tim and Amelia Poppy take their commitment to serve with integrity, transparency, and excellence seriously and want to honor and glorify God through their work. They are excited to serve their community as stewards of what God has given them by providing outstanding automotive services with truly “neighborly” customer care.

We are proud to support the following organizations, along with many others:
