The owners of Mr. Transmission in the U.S. have acquired Mister Transmission in Canada.
Moran Family of Brands has entered the Canadian market with the acquisition of Mister Transmission, creating what it described as a unified North American network in automotive service and repair.
While both operated under similar names, both companies were separate entities. Now, the move brings together Canada-based Mister Transmission and U.S.-based Mr. Transmission under one leadership structure.
The integration expands Illinois-based Moran’s geographic footprint and strengthens warranty support for customers across borders. An announcement from Moran said the combined network will offer consistent coverage and a seamless service experience throughout North America.
“This is a landmark moment for our company,” said Barbara Moran-Goodrich, CEO of Moran Family of Brands. “By bringing these two strong brands together, we are combining decades of technical expertise, shared values and operational excellence. Together, we can serve our customers even better, provide unmatched support to our franchisees and set a new standard for the North American automotive services industry.”
The acquisition adds Mister Transmission, which was founded in 1963, to Moran’s portfolio of seven brands, which also includes Mr. Transmission, Milex Complete Auto Care, Turbo Tint, Multistate Transmissions, Dr. Nick’s Transmissions and Alta Mere. Leadership for both organizations remains in place, with Moran-Goodrich as CEO of the combined entity, Peter Baldine continuing as U.S. president, and Tony Kuczynski as president of Mister Transmission in Canada.
“We’re making history here as we enter an exciting chapter for our brands,” said Kuczynski. “Moran Family of Brands and Mister Transmission are leaders in our respective countries and together we are building a stronger North American organization.”
The combined network now includes nearly 200 locations across North America. Moran plans to focus on system integration, franchise development, and operational alignment in 2026.
“This transition is a proud and emotional moment for me,” said Paul Craven, former chairman of Mister Transmission. “We built something truly special and Moran Family of Brands reflects the same values, integrity and focus on long-term success that has guided us for over 60 years.”
