Transmission Remanufacturing Company

What Transmission Remanufacturing Company does

Transmission Remanufacturing Company (TRC), founded in 1981 and headquartered in Kent, Washington, is a wholesale remanufacturer and distributor of aftermarket automotive transmissions and related drivetrain components. The company operates a 25,000-sq.-ft. facility and holds more than 1,000 remanufactured units in stock, spanning automatic and manual transmissions, transfer cases, torque converters, differentials, Allison heavy-duty units, and electric/hybrid transmissions, covering foreign and domestic vehicles across all years, makes, and models. Its remanufacturing process combines human-led core failure analysis with corrective upgrades beyond factory specifications, and every automatic transmission is performance-tested on computerized dynamometer equipment before shipment.

The company's revenue model is built on one-time wholesale transactions: remanufactured units, parts, and accessories are sold at wholesale pricing to two primary customer segments — independent and franchise automotive repair shops, and auto parts dealers/distributors — with customizable nationwide parts-and-labor warranty and a toll-free technical support hotline as supporting services. Go-to-market is conducted primarily through dedicated account customer service representatives, a dealer-inquiries portal, and organic search, targeting the Western United States while shipping nationwide. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly listed.

As of March 2026, TRC is no longer an independent operating entity, having been acquired by RANDYS Worldwide, a portfolio company of Greenbriar Equity Group. The transaction was represented by Ridgefield Partners and integrated TRC's manufacturing capacity and Western US repair-shop network into the RANDYS aftermarket platform. Prior to the acquisition, TRC had operated continuously as an LLC for over four decades.
