Albuquerque, NM Towing
Maybe you just finished a breakfast burrito at the Frontier across from UNM, walked back to your car on Central, and it won't turn over.

The roads around Albuquerque
Albuquerque is the state's largest city, spread along the Rio Grande where I-25 and I-40 cross, in Bernalillo County. SelfTow's partner tow companies cover the town and the highways that run through it:
- I-25 and I-40 meet at the Big I interchange near downtown, the busiest crossroads in the state and a common spot for rush-hour fender benders.
- I-40 climbs east through Tijeras Canyon toward Moriarty, where winter storms and canyon winds can close lanes, and west up Nine Mile Hill toward Grants.
- Paseo del Norte, Montaño and Alameda carry most of the cross-river traffic between the Westside and the Northeast Heights.

Common Questions
Can you tow me out of Balloon Fiesta traffic?
Yes. During Fiesta week, trucks are staged around the north side, but traffic is heavy, so share your exact pin location and the closest truck that quotes your tow will show you its live arrival time.
Do you tow on I-40 through Tijeras Canyon?
Yes. Partners cover I-40 east through Tijeras Canyon to Moriarty and west over Nine Mile Hill. Note your direction and nearest mile marker when you request so the driver gets on the right side of the interstate.
How fast can a tow truck reach me in Albuquerque?
Albuquerque has more partner trucks than anywhere else in the state, so arrival times are usually short. Every truck that quotes your tow shows a live arrival time, and traffic on the interstates at rush hour is the biggest factor.
Can you tow me out of a parking garage or apartment complex?
Usually, yes. Note any height limit or gate code in your request, and choose flatbed or wheel-lift so the right truck comes. Low garages sometimes need the car rolled out to the street first.
I was in a fender bender on the freeway. What do I do first?
Get somewhere safe, call 911 if anyone is hurt or the road is blocked, and exchange information. Once police clear you, request a tow and choose your drop-off, a body shop, dealership or home.
How much does towing cost in Albuquerque?
Each tow company near Albuquerque sets its own rates, so the price depends on your vehicle, the distance and who's available. SelfTow shows every company's all-in price side by side before you choose, so there are no surprises when the driver arrives.
Can I request my own tow instead of calling someone?
Yes, that's the whole idea behind SelfTow. Share your location, pick your vehicle and the service you need, and confirm. No phone call required.
