Broke Down Near Grants or Milan? We'll Come Get You

When your vehicle quits near Grants or Milan, you are sitting on the eastern edge of our service area — and that is still well within reach. American Muffler & Towing has run the I-40 corridor since 2012, and the Grants end is part of our everyday territory. We are a family-owned shop based in Gallup, and when you call, a real person picks up. No robot, no runaround, day or night.

Grants sits right around Exit 85, where NM-53 branches south toward El Malpais and Santa Fe Avenue carries traffic through town. Milan is just to the west. Mount Taylor towers over all of it, and the high desert around here makes for a gorgeous drive. A dead battery on the shoulder, though, does not care about the scenery.

Day-trippers and the long haul east

A lot of folks pass through this stretch on the way to El Malpais or El Morro, or heading further east. Those are long, open miles. If you are running out to see the lava fields and your car starts acting up, you do not want to be stuck guessing.

That is where our roadside assistance comes in. We handle:

  • Jump starts when the battery gives out
  • Lockouts when the keys end up on the wrong side of the door
  • Fuel delivery when the gauge drops faster than you planned
  • Flat-tire changes to get you rolling on the spare
  • Winch-outs when a soft shoulder grabs a wheel

When it needs more than a quick fix

Sometimes a jump or a spare is not enough. If the engine will not turn over or the damage is bad, we will tow you. Our towing covers light, medium, and heavy-duty, with flatbed and wheel-lift rigs, and we can bring your vehicle back toward Gallup to get looked at.

One call gets you an honest, up-front quote — no surprise fees tacked on when the truck shows up.

That promise matters most when you are far from home and feeling stuck. We tell you what the tow costs before we roll, and we stick to it.

Why drivers on this end trust us

Response time is everything out here. The stretch between Grants and Gallup is open country, and cell signal can be spotty. The sooner you call, the sooner we are on the road to you. We have been doing this for over a decade, and we know these exits and the quickest way to reach you.

If your car makes it into town but something still feels off — a rattle in the exhaust, a shimmy up front — we can help with that too once you are back our way. Take a look at our auto repair options and we will get you sorted.

Mount Taylor country is a great place to explore. Just save our number before you head out, so a small problem near Exit 85 does not turn into a long, cold wait.
