[edit] History
Just Brakes was founded in 1980 by Lester Neely in Bryan, Texas. In 1994, the Cloud family purchased Just Brakes with approximately 12 stores in the Dallas - Fort Worth area. In 1996, business then expanded to Denver and Colorado Springs, Colorado. Subsequently, Just Brakes grew rapidly in the 1990's across many major markets in the United States.
