About Millcreek
Millcreek was incorporated as a city in 2016 after decades as an unincorporated Salt Lake County township, making it one of Utah's newest cities despite being one of the valley's oldest settled areas. Named for the creek flowing from the Wasatch Mountains, Millcreek is home to nearly 63,000 residents across a mix of established mid-century neighborhoods and newer developments. The city's eastern edge borders the Wasatch Mountains, giving residents direct access to Millcreek Canyon, Big Cottonwood Canyon, and the trails of the Wasatch Front.

What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from Google — 5 stars across the board
“Scott is the best guy and best mechanic in Utah. He is also a great American. He is honest and does exceptional work.”
“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.”
“I had a pretty good experience. They got me in pretty quick. They did work on my 2014 Chevy Tahoe LT — replaced my 2 front oxygen sensors, changed the front windshield washer fluid pump, and did a coolant flush. They allowed me to bring my own parts and coolant, which I really appreciated. Done for a fair price. Would come back.”
“Took my grandson's car in to have the clutch looked at. We thought it might need a new clutch. Scott explained the level of wear and thought it was premature to replace it. He could have just said it needed a new clutch and I wouldn't have blinked an eye. I appreciated the honesty. Only needed a clutch adjustment. I also had him wire up a new set of fog lights and they look and work great. He will definitely get our business in the future.”
“Scott gets my car done quickly and his prices are good. He only fixes what needs to be done and doesn't up-charge.”
