Meet the owners

Owned & Operated By Matt and Suzanne Cobb

We are the Cobb Family – Matt, Suzanne, Luke, Charis, and Reagan. Georgia has been our home for over 40 years, and we are humbled and grateful for the opportunity the Lord has given us to serve the Watkinsville community. What began as a dream many years ago has now become a reality: owning a family business where our work can be an extension of our faith.

After 30 years in IT Sales Leadership, we felt called into something different—something that aligned with our desire to love our neighbors well and reflect Christ in our daily lives. Christian Brothers Automotive opened the door for us to do exactly that. We are thankful to be partnered with such an incredible organization and surrounded by people who share our commitment to honoring God in all we do.

Matt is a lifelong Porsche enthusiast who has spent countless hours in the garage working on the latest project. Behind the passion for cars is an even deeper passion for people—helping them achieve their goals and cheering them on as they follow their dreams. Suzanne is gifted with a servant’s heart. She has the rare ability to make every person feel seen, valued, and welcomed—treating each guest as if they were family.

One of the greatest blessings of this journey is having our children walking alongside us in this adventure. Luke will be serving guests as a Technician and taking excellent care of your vehicle. You may also see Charis and Reagan in the shop from time to time helping serve our guests or helping with the many tasks that keep the business running smoothly. As a family, we have long dreamed of building something we could work in together and we could not be more excited about this opportunity to do that with Christian Brothers Automotive.

Everyone who walks through our doors will be treated as our guest. You will be greeted with a warm smile, a clean and comfortable waiting area, and uplifting music and reading materials that point your heart toward hope. Our desire is that you feel at home here—that this is a place where you experience kindness, integrity, and the light of Christ in every interaction.

Our mission is simple: To Glorify God by Going The Extra Mile in Serving our Guests, our Team, and our Community.

At Christian Brothers Automotive Watkinsville, we are committed to setting the standard for a First-Class Experience in automotive care, not only by the quality of our work but by the posture of our hearts. We will lead with excellence, compassion, and integrity, seeking to reflect God’s love in every conversation, every repair, and every moment we have the privilege of serving you.
