'''AMCo.''' is a oil company from [[Grand Theft Auto III]], and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. There is a small branch in [[Trenton]] on [[Portland]] but it hasn't any big function related to the size. You can find it opposite to [[Joey's garage]]. In [[GTA III]] you can find behind a fence on the southeast side - on the grounds of the [[Burkes]] adjacent building - [[armor]]. There is a [[Hidden Packages (GTA III)|Hidden Package]] hidden on a green space on the southwest side.
