MMO Group, the franchising arm of Vast-Auto Distribution is now the exclusive Master Franchisor of Mister Transmission for the province of Quebec.

TORONTO, Aug. 28, 2015 – Mister Transmission, Canada’s largest chain of transmission and technology experts is beginning a significant expansion into the Quebec market, expected to result in the opening of 20 new locations in the next several years.  This growth initiative begins today with the announcement of a long-term development agreement with MMO Group, Vast-Auto Distribution’s auto care franchising division who owns and operates Mister Muffler, Monsieur Muffler, and OCTO Auto Service Plus with a combined 80 automotive repair facilities across Quebec and Ontario.

Under the terms of the agreement, Mister Transmission has granted Master Franchise rights to MMO Group for the province of Quebec with the objective of developing the brand and increasing its presence in the region.

Quebec has proven to be a large identifiable market for automotive aftermarket service providers, and currently there is no one like Mister Transmission in this marketplace. “We are always searching for ways to strategically exploit our current automotive franchising expertise and resources to differentiate ourselves.  We believe this partnership with Mister Transmission provides a unique specialization that will diversify our franchise portfolio without competing with our current brands,” says Daniel Malandruccolo, Vice President, MMO Group. “It is a very welcoming arrangement, they provide automotive aftermarket management expertise in Quebec, and we supply our brand with over 50 years of tools for success,” says Randall Moore, President and CEO, Mister Transmission (International). “We are very proud to be new partners with MMO Group, and can foresee them exceeding the forecasted growth plans.”

With shops in almost every province across Canada, it has been a long-term goal to one day expand the Mister Transmission brand into Quebec. This new partnership is sure to offer added value to the province, more to come from this iconic brand.

MMO Group is actively seeking potential Mister Transmission franchisees interested in a business opportunity throughout the province of Quebec.  The company has made the franchising opportunity especially interesting by offering a franchise initiative that includes a well-recognized brand, dedicated support staff, advertising support, and financial assistance.

Mark and Ty are an incredible father son duo that know their stuff. I’ve taken my car to many places that guess and you can tell. These guys have tons of knowledge and will do the work to figure out what’s going on with your car and give quality work for the best price. They have also caught mistakes from other shops and fixed. Highly recommend!!

Darren Pady
Murray and his team were by FAR THEE, the folks to go see when your new or classic car gave you grief. I had everything from a Cadillac to a Ford Ranger in there, and ever time was always a success story. Im hoping Murray enjoys his retirement but Im sad to see him leave. Im hoping that the new owners will be full of the same knowledge and personality that Murray was.

The Chicken
Chris the owner in Owen Sound went above and beyond to help my husband and I fix our van and help us with a way to go home while it was being fixed. We got stranded in Owen Sound and we’re 4 hours from home. He made us feel confident that he would fix the issues and comfortable to leave our van. When we returned to get our van he explained everything as to what was done and explained that we can call him anytime with questions. Our van will need to be checked in 10 days and he even called a mister transmission closer to our home to let them know we m would be coming.

Greg Hylton
I would consider my experience with Mr Transmission in Cambridge one of the better automotive experiences I’ve had and I have had many. I appreciated the openness, the professionalism and I found the management (Manny) to be polite respectful and easy to work with. He returned all calls promptly and attached images and pictures to text and email messages to assist with clarity.Would I recommend this business? I certainly would without any hesitation.
