Auto Repair Chain Seeks Expansion In Hartford Area

Hartford Business:

The combination of shuttered dealerships, fewer repair bays and more cars on the road for longer periods of time is driving a chain of auto care franchises to see the wisdom of expanding in the Greater Hartford area.

Franchisee Mike Tarr opened an AAMCO Transmissions in Manchester four years ago. The shop owner says business has jumped in the past two years.
