Anyone know what happened to the Amaco Transmission place in Milton?

Catchin Hell · 02-06-2010, 01:23 AM

I had the transmission in my wife's truck rebuilt by them last fall. We went to David's for catfish last weekend and noticed the place was vacant and the Amaco sign was missing. I suppose Amaco will still honor the warranty, but I'm just wondering what happened to the business. It looked like they were doing pretty well when I was in there last fall.

Yes they are out of business. I think he was retired military and helooked at several different franchise business opp's and thentook out an SBA loan to open up. These franchises do a great job of telling you how rich your gonna get and what numbers you will get in the franchise area to determine your profit. I know he was paying around $3700.00 a month for the building lease alone and with the economy he just couldn't make a go of it.

Thanks for the info and now that you mention it, I do rememberthe owner saying he was also retired military. I guess it's just another tradgedy attributable to the crappy economy as you've said.It's too bad...
