It is right there in our name: American Muffler & Towing. Muffler and exhaust work in Gallup, NM is our specialty, and it has been since 2012. If your ride has gotten loud, started rattling, or thrown a warning light, the crew at our shop at 827 N 9th Street can figure out what is going on and make it right.
Signs your exhaust needs attention
Your exhaust system does more than quiet things down. It routes dangerous gases away from you and helps your engine run clean. Here is when to get it looked at:
- A loud roar that has gotten worse over time
- Rattling under the car, especially over bumps
- A rotten-egg smell you cannot shake
- A drop in fuel economy you cannot explain
- A failed emissions test
Any one of these is worth a look. Several together mean it is time to bring it in for muffler & exhaust service.
Why exhaust problems are worth catching early
A small leak or a loose hanger is a cheap fix. Ignore it, and that little rattle can turn into a broken pipe, a louder cabin, worse mileage, and a car that will not pass emissions. Catching it early almost always saves you money.
Catalytic converter theft and replacement
Catalytic converter theft has become common just about everywhere, and Gallup is no exception. Thieves can cut one out in minutes, and you will know it the moment you start the engine — it will be shockingly loud.
If yours has been stolen or has simply failed with age, we handle catalytic converter replacement. Bring it by and we will give you a straight, up-front quote before any work starts. No surprise fees. That is how we have always done it.
Custom exhaust and welds
Not every exhaust job is a repair. Sometimes you want something better than stock. We do custom exhaust work and welds, whether you are chasing a particular sound, replacing a rusted-through section, or building out a work truck.
Because we fabricate and weld in-house, we can often fix one section instead of forcing you into a whole new system. That is the honest way to do it, and it keeps more money in your pocket.
A healthy exhaust is not just about noise. It is about your fuel economy, your emissions, and the air inside your cab.
