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 Holladay area landmarks and how they connect to our shop.
Big Cottonwood Canyon
7 milesBig Cottonwood Canyon is a major Wasatch Front canyon accessed from Highland Drive in Cottonwood Heights, home to Brighton and Solitude ski resorts. The canyon road climbs from about 4,700 feet at its base to over 8,700 feet at Brighton—one of the longest sustained grades in the Salt Lake Valley. It's also a popular summer recreation area with campgrounds and hiking trails.
Holladay drivers heading into Big Cottonwood should get brakes inspected before ski season. Sustained downhill braking at 8% grade generates extreme heat.
Holladay Village
4.5 milesHolladay Village is the city's charming main street commercial district along Highland Drive, featuring local restaurants, boutique shops, and service businesses. The district has a distinct small-town feel within the broader Salt Lake Valley and serves as the civic heart of this 31,000-resident city.
From Holladay Village on Highland Drive, head north on Highland—it runs nearly straight to our area at 3300 South.
Mount Olympus
5 milesMount Olympus (9,026 ft) is the iconic peak that defines the eastern skyline of Holladay and the central Salt Lake Valley. The trailhead at 4930 S Wasatch Blvd is one of the most popular hikes in Utah—a strenuous 8-mile round trip with over 4,000 feet of elevation gain. The mountain is visible from most of the valley.
SUVs and crossovers used for mountain access from Holladay need regular suspension and alignment checks—rough trailhead roads take a toll.
Murray Holladay Road Corridor
3.5 milesMurray Holladay Road (4500 South) is the primary east-west arterial connecting Holladay to Murray, State Street, and I-15. It's one of the main commuting routes for Holladay residents heading into the central valley, passing through established neighborhoods and commercial zones.
Murray Holladay Road brings you straight to the State Street intersection, then it's a short jog south to Crystal Ave and our shop.

“Honest and smart mechanic. Scott will explain what needs to be done. He replaced my water pump and my car is working perfectly! This was after taking it to 2 shops previous to Scott's. He will be my first option from now on. Saved me a ton of money, was honest in his assessment, and fast! 100% recommend!”
“Scott is the best! Finishes the job quickly, prices are competitive, and he has great customer service. I've had nothing but good experiences here. Thanks for the rebuilt engine and install. I will be back for future needs!”
“Great shop! Knowledgeable staff. Fast service! They always make time for the unexpected repairs that need to be fixed quickly.”
“This guy is the best! Not only did he get my car done the same day, but when I couldn't pull it all the way there he came and pulled it with his own truck and son. Then he even charged my air conditioning! I'm a single mom with no one to really help with car stuff. This means the world to me. Couldn't ask for better help!! Thank you so much you saved the day and more!!! And honest to boot.”
“When my previous mechanic told me my car could not be fixed I was desperate and about to get rid of it. But before I gave up I wanted to try one last mechanic. Then I found Scott — brought the car to him and he fixed it quickly like nothing. I couldn't believe it, my car was just running fine. Scott is a genius, he resurrected my dead car!”
“Scott is a very straightforward, no nonsense guy. We had to get the calipers fixed on our car, and Scott offered the best rates in the area. The service was also pretty quick.”
