I had saved this shop in my phone already after hearing all the great recommendations as a just-in-case contact. Approximately ten minutes after I called for a tow (and speaking with a doll of a woman who was very helpful), the tow truck showed up. I was prepared to wait at least half an hour which had been the norm in my past experiences. Also in my past experiences, getting the car hooked up was a lengthy process. Not with Marty's! Ismael had us moving on the road within 3 minutes of him arriving. Tow truck technology has come a long way since I've needed their help! Blew my mind. On top of the speedy assistance, Ismael was also an absolute pleasure to ride along and speak with. This place defined reassurance and efficient help. Save them in your phone for a future tow too and rest easy you'll be well taken care of should the time come! read more

Ray is the man! Very knowledgeable and professional. The axel broke on my boat trailer half way in and out of my storage unit... it was very stuck. I was not equipped to handle the removal on my own, so I called Marty's City Auto who said they could help. Getting the boat out of the storage facility and to a safe spot for repairs was not an easy project. Ray arrived in a timely manner, came up with a game plan and we executed on it to get the job done efficiently. Would absolutely work with him again! read more

Marty's City Auto - Marty's installed a new starter and alternator on the F-150. - Towing Near Me - Galveston, Texas

Friday at 3:30 my car won't drive and must go to the shop which closes at 6pm. My insurance company called someone and said 90 minutes. Then said another hour. No way will I make it to the shop before they close for the weekend. Called Marty's. Ismael was there under 15 minutes. Needed flat bed truck, calls the boss, boom. We are in tow and off to the shop. Made it in time to get my car tucked safely inside the building for the weekend. Should have called them to begin with. Marty's is my tow company from now on. read more

My car broke down while on vacation. Most shops were closed at the time. However, I was able to get a hold of Marty's. My car was towed and worked on first thing in the morning.

My girlfriend and I took a spontaneous camping trip down in Galveston. We got stuck in the sand and looked up different towing companies and found Marty's. Marty's came highly rated and totally lived up to their great reviews. Ismael, who came to tow us out, went above and beyond in towing us out but also make sure we knew how to make it back into town. Thank you Marty's and thank you Ismael for coming in clutch and salvaging our date night! read more

Amazing experience with Marty and his team!!!!!! Definitely a pillar in Auto Services!!! Excellent will go no where else on the Island

I highly recommend Marty's! Really friendly people and great service - honest and kind. Don't look anywhere else.

I headed to Marty's towing after I, er, misjudged my truck's distance from a sign. A couple of parts were in danger of falling off, so I looked up Body Shops on Yelp and saw that Marty's was the place to go. After a short drive through a moonscape of old industrial buildings, I arrived at the garage. Ray greeted me, sized up the situation, and caught on that I needed a quick fix on my '95 vehicle, not perfection. He made an adjustment on one part, put in a screw in another, and I was on my way. Even better, his dog Wrecker, a huge, black-and-white beast that surely has some Great Dane in him, guarded me the whole time. If your vehicle needs body work, I suggest you head for Marty's. read more

Great service and very friendly! Helped me out in a time of need and would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of towing in the Galveston area. read more

I went here because of reviews I read on YELP!! I needed a new door handle put on my 2014 Impala that i had ordered online. I spoke to RAY and he told me to bring in 8am next day . He told me I could wait and that it wouldn't take long. Well, I had someone pick me up and I went to get breakfast at Denny's. Ray called me before I even got my breakfast. READY , he said. I was amazed at how fast this was. Ray is amazingly Friendly and efficient. Got an estimate on body work and will return here soon. So glad I found this place. They earned my business and I will refer friends. read more

Drove into Galveston and my car broke down. Marty's came right away and helped me out. Great advice on where to get my car fixed. Thanks!

Crazy Bernie is a huge fan of Marty's. Even though I've never actually paid them to do anything I did have an experience with them. My Nimrod wife almost lost her key Farb for our rental car. So ICalled Marty's and They begin to do what they do to get to me. In the meantime I found the key Farb in the garbage can at the gap Galvestonian in the crisis was over. Marty is ready to come open the door but I didn't need them so I told him that if I ever do need him I will call him read more

This place was a lifesaver! I was on my way to Galveston from Houston (hour and a half drive from where I was) and halfway down there the plastic protector under my car came undone and was making the most obnoxious flopping sound the whole time. I could barely concentrate on driving. I was worried I wouldn't be able to find someone to fix it since it was a Sunday evening but I saw this place was open 24 hours for towing. The body shop is Monday through Friday 8-5 but I figured it was worth a shot. When I drove up 2 guys, I think one was the owner, greeted me with a smile and asked how they could help me. I told them and they immediately got under my car to look and see what they could do. Even though it was not body shop hours they took about 10 minutes to jack my car up and quickly fix the problem! I was so thankful! Talk about great customer service. I was prepared to pay a little something for their trouble but they said don't worry about it. As a girl I've been to several auto shops where the guys were more than willing to try to pull one over on me. These guys were friendly and honest. Thanks so much!! read more

Marty's is the bomb! I'm very new to town and I had an issue with my front bumper. Marty fixed it right up with no issues at all! I picked this place because of all of the great reviews on here and I was not disappointed. I hope I never need a body shop again but if I do, I know exactly where I'm taking my car. read more

Fantastic group of people. My family's had to have our cars towed 4 times and we all got great drivers that were nice, knowledgeable, and quick. Never had to wait more than half an hour for the driver to get there. Mechanics are also knowledgeable and the customer service is great. Prices are fair too, which surprised me with everything on the island being so darned expensive. All in all they made my car breaking down on me less tragic, thank god read more

Thank you again for your fast service! I truly thank you for being so fast on getting my car to Firestone!! I will only go to you, you truly impressed me with your services it was great and effective. Thank you! read more

This guy got there fast and was very courteous and did a great job with our large dually.. Thank you much

I called Marty's Auto for some serious help. I had to move a ambulance that weighed over a ton! The next day they called me to let me know that an driver would be showing up in ten minutes. Exactly ten minutes later "RAY," shows up. This guy had no fear whatsoever. I mean at first glace you could tell this guy could pick up your car with a finger. He worked professional with trail and error. He had three or four plans in his head. Eventually one of them worked and he finally got the ambulance firmly on the truck. He didn't even scratch the floor! Like wt#!!! How do you move something that weighs over a ton? You call Marty's Auto. Now thats a Done Deal. read more

After having a really bad experience with Merchant's Wrecker Service located in Alvin, Texas, The Hartford Insurance Road Side Assistant Service sent Marty's Wrecker Service.

Thank You Marty's Wrecker Service for being on time and making car trouble an actual pleasant experience. I will be recommending your service to anyone that needs help in the future. read more

Great customer service! Fast friendly!! I would definitely recommend calling them whenever you are in need of a tow truck!

Thanks so much Cody with Marty's City Auto in Galveston. I was stuck on the busy Causeway, but thanks to Cody not too long. He was prompt, professional, courteous and respectful. He seemed to care about how the customer feels and really did an awesome job. Most driver seem more rushed and all about making money instead of actually dealing with the customer, and Cody was really interested in my problem and helping to find a resolution. I would most definitely recommend Marty's City Auto. Thanks for that you do! Great Job Guys! read more

I was hit in a hit-and-run and the person who hit me refused to pay for the repair. And I hadn't met my deductible, so I was having to pay out of pocket. Marty gave me an estimate significantly lower than my insurance company, and he stayed below that estimate! Ray was also super nice. My truck was at Marty's Monday through Friday and doesn't look like it was ever hit. read more

Marty's City Auto - Before and after. - Towing Near Me - Galveston, Texas

I do not reccomend. This morning, Marty's towing hooked up and took my property without my permission. He charged me 350 to get it off the freeway. I asked him to take it somewhere 5 min away and he charged me an extra 100. I feel like my money was stolen. He was very very rude, if you are in the Galveston area please get away from these people and do not use their services. read more

After having issues with other tow companies I called Marty's. They were very quick and super friendly! Would definitely use again if needed! read more

I called to junk my car. My boyfriend had broken down on 45 by Texas City. When I arrived to clear the car out, the car was missing. I called the police and the police had no record. Ray drove all the way out anyway, helped calm me down and explain to me that because of the construction on 45 the policy in the area was to clear of the highway right away of any car without a driver present. He helped me figure out where the car was, and what my next step should be. They have definitely want a customer for life Ray was helpful and empathetic In a time where I was panicked. Thank you! read more

This place is awesome! The repairs are quick, the staff is friendly, and they do their best to work with you. I highly recommend them

While in Galveston our vehicle broke down and we found Marty's number online so we called. The shop was closed for the weekend, but Ray came in, opened the gate and called mechanic Alex over. These guys were lifesavers!! And the price? Let's just say it was more than generous and fair. They went above and beyond what any other business would have done. We need more people like this in the world. I can't thank Ray, Alex and Marty enough for your kindness and great work! If you want honest work at a fair price, this is your go-to. read more

I am very impressed with their tow service! Ray showed up earlier than expected, waited to ensure we had transportation set up in case we needed to leave our car and was extremely patient with us. read more

When our insurance company's roadside assistance couldn't get to us for another 90 minutes, I called Marty's Towing. We had already been stuck on the Seawall with two tired toddlers and a granny in the hot sun. He was there in 20 minutes. He was cheerful and got us in. He put a smile on our faces after the long tribulation. I heartily recommend them for your lockouts, and if their auto work is as good as the service we experienced, then I would definitely use them. read more

Very fast response, and very professional. Ray introduced himself with a big genuine smile. He pulled up literally within the hour and had my car on his truck and on its way to my mechanic in a matter of minutes. This was after i spent my morning waiting on another company to show up, only to be told that they couldn't tow my car from the position it was in. Funny thing is. Ray had basically the exact same type of tow truck, and not only managed to get the job done, but did it safely, and efficiently. I strongly recommend their service and company all around! read more

These Guys Are Amazing!!! Totally saved my butt at 4 am on Crystal Beach. After calling a towing service on the island and paying for a driver to come and tell me there was nothing they could do I started calling around on Galveston. Many people heard Crystal Beach and hung up but these guys made sure it got done. The driver on site was able to determine the problem and get me a solution to get me and my family back home to the woodlands! Definitely the best call of the night! These guys won't let you down! read more

They are the best! I messed up my front bumper and had to be out of my dorm that week for Christmas break. I live 7 hours away. I brought it to them and they had it fixed in a hour and half. Everybody was so nice, the ladies in the office, the guy that worked on my car, and the owner! He came out from his office and started talking to me about my school and was really friendly! I chose this place based on their yelp reviews and was not disappointed. I will always bring my car here for now on! read more
