Gunsmoke Towing & Recovery
Business Description
Gunsmoke Towing is a turnkey, high-demand towing and recovery business based in scenic Buena Vista, Colorado—the heart of the Rockies. Backed by exclusive contracts with Colorado State Patrol and Buena Vista Police, along with designated rotations with sheriff departments across Chaffee, Park, Lake, and Saguache counties, as well as Salida Police. This trusted operation is a vital part of the region’s emergency response network. The business operates a well-maintained 9-truck fleet, including a heavy wrecker, off-road recovery unit, three flatbeds, semi tractor and additional support vehicles—ready for everything from major highway accidents to rugged mountain recoveries. With steady, year-round demand, deep community ties, and strong agency partnerships, Gunsmoke Towing is a rare opportunity to own a profitable, essential service in one of Colorado’s fastest-growing mountain communities.

- With year-round tourism and outdoor activities, Gunsmoke Towing benefits from consistent business in a prime Colorado location. The exclusive contract with Colorado State Patrol guarantees a steady and reliable stream of income. Even if another company were to enter the area, the State Patrol contract would remain exclusively with Gunsmoke. Previously one of three tow companies, Gunsmoke is the one left cementing its status as the trusted and dominant provider in the area.
- Opportunities for Growth
- There is significant opportunity to expand revenue by adding roadside assistance, light mechanical and tire services— this could add an estimated $150K in annual income. High traveler volume through the area has created strong demand for tire repair services, especially after 5 PM and on weekends. Meeting this demand would require either training an existing employee or hiring someone with basic mechanical experience.
