AAmco is a franchise operation. Franchises are businesses that are created by the franchisor and sold to franchisees to run according to the company formula. All too often owners that buy franchises are "product agnostic", meaning that they bought a "business" and could care less what the "product" is - printing, hot dogs, frozen yoghurt, hamburgers, auto paint, plumbing, hotel, carpet cleaning, auto lube or whatever. This means that the quality can range from really great to incredibly poor. This is in stark contrast to someone who opens a business because they are an expert and love to develop a quality product and are passionate about it. I'm not saying don't go to franchise companies, just be aware that you never know what you'll get.
If you could source a rebuilt transmission from a reputable re-builder and then have a mechanic install it, I would think that that would be one of your better options.
