Founded in 1973 as American Transmissions, Acclaim Car and Truck Repair emerged as Scottsdale’s pioneering transmission shop. Over time, our expertise expanded, transforming us into a hub for antique and classic car and truck restoration and customization.
Most of you may not know the story of Acclaim, how Ken and Rich purchased the company from American Transmission years ago. Ken and Rich met while working at a transmission shop. Both guys know their way around a transmission. Ken had left that shop to pursue a different business model. He found American Transmission.
American Transmission had been one of the only and oldest transmission shops in Scottsdale. (This shop has outlasted chains, a recession, and a pandemic.) It didn't take Ken long to build a name at American Transmission. Ken became overwhelmed with work and needed someone he could trust working with him. Ken recruited Rich to work with him, and the two of them soon decided that they wanted to take American Transmission to a new level of business and began the purchasing process.
Since then, the business has gone through a couple of different transformations. Today, the focus is on classic and antique car general repair/restoration and transmission work. In those years, they had a few employees. No one more dedicated and eager to learn this business than Rich's son, Dave Buck. Dave has been with Acclaim for 20+ years, on and off. Rich and Ken have no desire to leave this business but have welcomed Dave as an equal partner.
This trio is dedicated to you and your cars, always wanting to make sure you are driving safely and comfortably in your classic. We treat your car like it's our own, giving each car the attention to detail it deserves. Acclaim is still family owned and operated!
