After spending years as a production manager, former Marine Chris Hamlin opted to find a more lucrative position to support his growing family. Opportunity is what drove him to join the growing automotive industry and one of its most successful franchise opportunities - <a href="http://christianbrothersfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=goose-creek-gazette-veteran-signs-on-as-christian-brothers-automotive-10949" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Christian Brothers Automotive</a>. Of the 155 stores in 22 states, not a single store has failed.

&ldquo;This industry has got a reputation&hellip;its really easy to get taken advantage of,&rdquo; Hamlin said in an interview with the Goose Creek Gazette. &ldquo;Most people don&rsquo;t know a whole lot of what goes on inside their car&hellip;I have walked away going I just got taken advantaged of.&rdquo; 
 
Hamlin ensures that his <a href="http://christianbrothers.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=goose-creek-gazette-veteran-signs-on-as-christian-brothers-automotive-10949" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Christian Brothers Automotive</a> will offer full transparency and an inviting atmosphere to ensure superior customer service remains the primary focus. 
 
&ldquo;We work very hard not only to take care of people, but to educate them,&rdquo; Hamlin said to reporter&nbsp;Rickey Ciapha Dennis Jr. 
 
Overall feedback from the community has been encouraging, with the support of the mayor and heavy traffic flow within its first week in business.
