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. - For half a century, the American public imagination has linked the word “transmission” to AAMCO — and for good reason.
