Utah Olympic Oval

The Utah Olympic Oval at 5662 S 4800 W in Kearns is a world-class indoor speed skating facility built for the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. At 400 meters, it's consistently recorded among the fastest ice times in the world—a result of its altitude and design.

5400 South Commercial Corridor

6 miles

The 5400 South corridor through Kearns is the main commercial artery for the community, lined with grocery stores, retail, restaurants, and service businesses. Heavy commercial truck traffic on this road contributes to potholes and road surface deterioration that wears tires and suspension components faster than comparable suburban roads.

5400 South's commercial truck traffic means potholes and debris are ongoing hazards. Alignment and suspension checks are worth doing annually for regular commuters on this road.

Oquirrh Park Fitness Center

7 miles

The Oquirrh Park Fitness Center is Kearns Township's community recreation center, featuring an indoor pool, fitness equipment, and recreation programs. It's a central gathering place for Kearns families and reflects the community's investment in neighborhood amenities.

Oquirrh Park is in the heart of Kearns—from there, 4700 South east to State Street is the most direct route to our shop.

What Kearns Drivers Need Most

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

Brake Service: Kearns residents commuting via 5400 South, 4700 South, or Bangerter Highway face stop-and-go traffic that wears brakes faster than highway driving.
Clutch Repair: Kearns manual transmission drivers face typical suburban stop-and-go that wears clutches, plus longer commutes to downtown that accelerate wear.
Complete Auto Service: Kearns's diverse community drives a wide range of vehicles that all benefit from our honest, complete auto service approach.
CV Axle Repair: Suburban turning patterns and tight parking in Kearns commercial areas stress CV joints, especially on front-wheel drive sedans.

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!”
