New Automotive Shop Opens in Westchase

Jason and Carla Benintendi are the owners of Christian Brothers Automotive, which opened Wednesday.

After spending almost 20 years in the customer service business, Jason Benintendi had a desire to open his own business.

So after living in Tulsa, Okla., for almost his entire life, Benintendi relocated his family, including wife, Carla, and two children to Tampa. The family opened the doors on their new business Christian Brothers Automotive on Wednesday at 12949 Race Track Road.

"We look forward to greeting each and every customer and personally tending to their questions and concerns,” he said. “We believe in what Christian Brothers Automotive stands for and want to reach out to our community and provide a high level of customer service—which has been my background for many years.”
