The Early Years

The AAMCO success story began in 1963, at a single transmission center on Front Street in Philadelphia. The center opened with a simple, straightforward business plan: to offer motorists top quality work…service backed by a no-nonsense warranty…and a commitment to total customer satisfaction. The plan worked. People liked the way they were treated at AAMCO centers…liked getting value for their dollar…and they told their friends about it.

AAMCO started to expand through franchising, ensuring that the same high AAMCO standards would be upheld by centers from coast-to-coast. The first franchise opened in September 1963 in Newark, New Jersey—and the same owner/operator remains at that center to this date!

Chairman Robert Morgan guided AAMCO Transmissions, Inc. from its modest beginnings in Philadelphia to its number one industry position across North America. Today, AAMCO is by far the world’s largest chain of transmission specialists, with more than 700 locations throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
