WHY AAMCO Transmissions?
One of the biggest positives in partnering with a nationally known brand with a 60-year history of expertise and customer trust is that the groundwork is already laid. We have spent decades establishing ourselves as the preeminent brand for complex car repair, and franchisees benefit from that legacy the day they open their doors. Franchise owners benefit from transmission replacement being one of the highest ticket items, and more importantly, as the auto industry moves toward creating vehicles that are more and more like computers on wheels, AAMCO’s legacy as the brand that specializes in complex repairs positions us to become the go-to brand for fixing this new generation of vehicles.
History: For half a century, the American public imagination has linked the word “transmission” to AAMCO — and for good reason. Our proven expertise in fixing the most technically challenging part of a car is heralded far and wide, and as a result, we remain the leading brand for transmission work. Rather than rest on our laurels, AAMCO has prepared for the radical shift in automotive repair. As cars become more like computers on wheels, and as hybrid and electric vehicles become mainstream, AAMCO is making significant strides toward becoming the only brand capable of fixing them.
OUR IDEAL FRANCHISEE
To own an AAMCO franchise today, you don’t need a background in automotive repair. We want to partner with good business people who are passionate and committed to taking care of customers. Once the decision is made to become an AAMCO franchise owner, we provide a tremendous amount of coaching and training to prepare our owners to be successful in their new business.
