We’ve seen it all in Albuquerque. Cars stranded in Sandia foothills. Tires flattened by cactus thorns. A Dodge Ram halfway inside a Sonic drive-thru stall (yes, we’re serious). At Towing ABQ, we don’t judge—we rescue.

Here are the top 5 most “Albuquerque” towing emergencies:

1. The Balloon Fiesta Fiasco
   You parked in a “no tow” zone while chasing the perfect balloon photo. Next thing you know, your car’s gone with the wind. Don't worry—we’ll bring it back faster than you can say "roadrunner."

2. The Sand Trap Slip-Up
   New Mexico is beautiful, but those soft shoulders on the backroads? Not so much. When your wheels start digging, we’re digging you out—without digging into your wallet.

3. Locked Out at Lobo Louie’s
   Nothing says “long day” like locking your keys in the car after a UNM game. Whether it's 2 p.m. or 2 a.m., we’re one call away.

4. Running on Red Chile and Dreams
   Gas tanks lie. Especially when you’re driving from Rio Rancho to ABQ with zero bars. Call us—we’ll deliver gas with zero judgment (and maybe a taco recommendation too).

5. Flat Tire, Flat Day
   Whether it’s a nail, a bolt, or a mysterious enchilada fork (true story), we’ve got you covered—literally.
