Gary and Bob Mullan
Our grandfather started the family business in 1939. Now in the third generation, we run a successful business with close ties to the community. Our staff have taught trade classes at technical colleges, and we employ new graduates. The entire family is involved in the business, and our hope is that we can pass it down once again to a fourth generation – Gary’s teenage daughter Shannel.
We pride ourselves on providing the highest quality work at a very competitive price, and we have the most modern, state-of-the-art equipment. Our shop has been a symbol of consistency in downtown Tacoma, and our phone number has not changed for over sixty years.
Our History
In 1930, the the firm known today as Mullan’s Collision was called Guaranty Radiator and Fender. In 1939 Mitch Mullan Sr. rented the building at 2201 Pacific Ave. and named it Mullan’s Body & Fender Works.ttrt
Mitch Mullan Jr started sweeping floors at the company in 1939, then left
for military
duty. When he returned in 1953, he started working full-time,
then bought the building in
1985 and changed the name to Mullan’s Collision.
Today, although semi-retired in
2000, he still helps his two sons, Gary and
Bob, to run the business.
