AAMCO Transmissions and Total Car Care is one of the most trusted and recognized automotive brands in the country. AAMCO could celebrate its origins on any one of three important dates: 1957, 1962 or 1963. The company's official 50th anniversary was celebrated in 2012 and 2013 because those years mark milestones - the birth of the business concept for a "chain" of transmission repair franchises in 1962, along with the company's incorporation and opening of the first truly franchised center in Newark, NJ in 1963.
