Landmarks Near Our Shop

Scott's Auto & Clutch Repair is at 144 W Crystal Ave, South Salt Lake, UT 84115 — centrally located and easy to reach from across the Salt Lake Valley. Here are some well-known Draper area landmarks and how they connect to our shop.

Corner Canyon Trails

14 miles

Corner Canyon is a world-class mountain biking and trail running destination in eastern Draper with over 100 miles of trails. Popular routes include Ghost Falls, Rush, and Clark's Trail. The trailhead areas off Rambling Road are packed on weekends, and many Draper residents access the trails in SUVs and trucks on unpaved approaches.

Mountain bikers put SUVs through unpaved trailhead roads that stress CV boots and suspension components. Worth inspecting annually.

Draper TRAX Station

12 miles

The Draper Town Center TRAX station is the southern terminus of the Blue Line, connecting Draper directly to Murray, Sandy, downtown Salt Lake City, and the airport. The station is located near Draper City Hall and the surrounding town center development.

Take TRAX Blue Line north to Central Pointe—a 3-minute walk to our shop. Ideal for full-day repairs when you need your vehicle in the evening.

Silicon Slopes / Bangerter Corridor

11 miles

Draper's Bangerter Highway corridor is the heart of Utah's 'Silicon Slopes' tech district, home to corporate headquarters for Adobe, eBay, Ancestry, and dozens of other major tech companies. The concentration of high-earning commuters has made Draper one of the highest-income cities in Utah and helps explain the prevalence of European and performance vehicles in local driveways.

European and performance vehicle owners in Draper appreciate our rates—30-50% less than dealer pricing with the same quality parts and diagnostic equipment.

Point of the Mountain

10 miles

Point of the Mountain is the ridge at the boundary of Salt Lake and Utah counties where I-15 crests at about 4,800 feet. It's famous for world-class hang gliding and paragliding, and the I-15 grade at this point is one of the most demanding driving conditions on the Wasatch Front—especially for manual transmission vehicles and vehicles towing trailers.

The Point of the Mountain grade is where clutch and brake issues reveal themselves. If you tow anything over this pass, get inspections before and after towing season.

What Draper Drivers Need Most

Based on 35+ years serving Draper drivers — the repairs local roads and terrain create the most demand for.

Clutch Repair: The I-15 grade at Point of the Mountain is where overloaded clutches reveal themselves. Draper manual transmission drivers face the steepest grade on the Salt Lake commute, accelerating clutch wear significantly.
Brake Service: Draper commuters descending into the Salt Lake Valley face sustained downhill braking on I-15 through Point of the Mountain. Combined with stop-and-go traffic, Draper brakes wear faster than average.
Cooling System Service: The climb up Point of the Mountain from the valley stresses cooling systems, especially in summer. Coolant leaks and water pump failures show up earlier in Draper vehicles than flatland driving.
Complete Auto Service: Draper's longer commute distances mean more annual miles on vehicles. Our complete auto service approach catches problems early before they leave you stranded on I-15.
