Mister Transmission Founder Succumbs to Cancer

Bruce Brillinger, chairman and founder of Mister Transmission, succumbed to cancer early the morning of January 5, at home with his wife, Gayle, by his side. He was 73.

Brillinger co-founded Mister Transmission in 1963 and has since grown the brand to be Canada’s largest transmission specialist with some 85 locations across the country.

The Mister Transmission business was founded on three basic operating principles; quality workmanship, attractive pricing, and a strong national warranty. These basic principles continue to guide Mister Transmission today. Along with Mister Transmission’s orange and black logo, the famous jingle, “Hey Mister you’re a friend of mine” has made Mister Transmission one of Canada’s most recognized brands.
