Randy founded AR Transmission in 1979. He originally started it as a hobby. The local speed shops needed someone to build their custom race transmissions. Randy approached some of them and Aaronian Racing Transmission was born. He built a few custom transmissions here and there out of his parent's garage. He soon realized that his hobby was growing into a potentially good business. He began building transmissions for the everyday car and in May 1982 he opened AR Transmission at 1910 W. McKinley in Fresno, CA and has been there ever since.
