About Us

1978 was the year The Muffler Shop was started in Baldwin, Wisconsin.  The first location was originally a two bay gas station and repair shop.  In the following years, business boomed and more locations followed.  The second location was built in Menomonie in 1982.  The third location came in 1991 in the city of New Richmond.  Three years later, the fourth location would be in Hudson, Wisconsin. 

For many years The Muffler Shop exclusively specialized in exhaust systems.  As the years passed, we started doing shocks, brakes, cv axels and trailer hitches.  In the more recent years, we’ve expanded our services to be a complete and comprehensive auto repair facility.  From oil changes to engine and transmission repair, we have you covered.

In 2005 we changed our name from The Muffler Shop to TMS Tire and Auto to let the general public know “we do more than mufflers”.  Make no mistake; we are still The Muffler Shop and still specialize in complete exhaust repairs from bare stock to full custom!!

It’s not out of the ordinary to drive by in the summer months and see a parking lot full of hot rods and muscle cars.  Yeah, its pretty cool! 

Each location has traditionally been and always will be locally owned and operated.
