Tires and Junk Car Removal in Gallup and McKinley County

New and used tires plus cash junk car removal in Gallup and McKinley County. Beat the goatheads and turn a dead car into cash with free pickup.

July 15, 2026

Two things every driver around here deals with sooner or later: worn-out tires and a dead vehicle taking up space in the yard. Good news — American Muffler & Towing handles both. We sell new and used tires in Gallup and McKinley County, and we pay cash for junk cars with free pickup.

Keeping good rubber under you on local roads

Our roads are hard on tires. Between rough pavement, gravel shoulders, and the goatheads (puncturevine) that seem to grow everywhere out here, a flat is never far off. Those little thorns are one of the most common causes of flats in this area, and they do not care how new your tires are.

That is why we keep a range of tires on hand:

  • All-season tires for everyday driving
  • Off-road tires for the back roads and the Navajo Nation
  • Commercial tires for work trucks and fleets

We handle install, rotation, and balancing too. Rotating on a regular schedule and keeping your tires balanced makes them last longer and keeps the ride smooth — simple maintenance that saves you money down the road.

New or used — your call

Not every job needs a brand-new set. If you are getting a vehicle through one more season, a solid set of used tires might be the smart move. If you are putting on the miles, new tires are the better value. We will give you an honest, up-front recommendation and let you decide. No pressure, no surprise fees.

Turn that dead car into cash

Got a vehicle that has not run in years? A wreck you keep meaning to deal with? Instead of letting it rust, let us haul it off and put cash in your hand.

Our junk car removal service is straightforward:

  • Cash for unwanted vehicles
  • Free pickup anywhere we serve
  • Clean paperwork so it is handled right

You do not need the car to run, and you do not need to figure out how to move it. We come to you across Gallup and McKinley County, load it up, and take care of the title paperwork so there are no loose ends.

One trip can put fresh tires on your daily driver and clear a dead car out of the yard — with cash back in your pocket.

One local shop, both jobs done

Being family-owned since 2012 means we treat your vehicle and your time with respect. Whether you are shopping for tires, need a rotation, or want that junk car gone, you get a real person on the phone and a straight quote — never a runaround.
