Family-run, Gallup-local, since 2012.

American Muffler & Towing is a full-service tow, repair, and exhaust shop on N 9th Street in Gallup. We've spent over a decade answering 3 a.m. calls on I-40, welding mufflers for travelers passing through, and getting working trucks back to work.

Our story

Started as a muffler shop. Grew into the whole operation.

We opened our doors in 2012 doing what our name says — mufflers. Word got around. Soon people were asking if we'd tow a friend in, fix a brake line, pull a junk car out of a yard. We said yes. Then we bought the right trucks and hired the right people to keep saying yes.

Today we run a heavy-duty wrecker, flatbed rollbacks, a medium-duty truck, and a full repair shop — all from one lot on N 9th. We work on cars, trucks, diesels, RVs, fleet vehicles, and the occasional odd project. Our customers are travelers passing through on I-40, families who've been in Gallup for generations, and the working trucks that keep northwest New Mexico running.

The promise hasn't changed: a real person on the phone, a real quote before work starts, and work we stand behind.

What we stand for

Three rules we don't break.

A quote comes first

Nothing happens until you know the number. No surprise bills, no "while we're in there" upsells you didn't ask for.

A real person answers

Our tow line doesn't go to voicemail at 2 a.m. It goes to a human. That's the whole point of being 24/7.

Our name is on it

If we did the work and something failed, we make it right. A family shop doesn't get to hide behind corporate policy.

We answer every call

Need a tow or a repair? Call us right now.

A real person on the line, every time. We'll get you a quote in under a minute — and a truck rolling if you need one.
