About Riverton
Riverton has about 44,000 residents and maintains a distinct small-town feel even as surrounding communities have grown rapidly. The city's western edge borders the Jordan River, and its Wasatch Mountain views to the east are among the best in the valley. Riverton has grown significantly since 2000 and continues to develop its commercial and civic infrastructure while preserving the agricultural character of its founding community.
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 Riverton area landmarks and how they connect to our shop.
Riverton City Center
12 milesRiverton's City Center area along Redwood Road near 12600 South is the growing civic and commercial hub of this community of 44,000 residents. City Hall, the Riverton Library, and a mix of retail and dining options have developed here as Riverton has transitioned from a rural farming community to a suburban city.
From Riverton City Center, take 12600 South east to Bangerter, then north to I-15 north to our 3300 South exit.
Bangerter Highway Corridor
11 milesBangerter Highway (SR-154) is a controlled-access highway running north-south through the west side of Salt Lake County, connecting Herriman through Riverton, South Jordan, West Jordan, and Taylorsville to I-215. It's the primary commuting route for residents of Riverton and the southwest valley, with speed limits up to 65 mph and frequent interchange transitions.
Bangerter's 55-65 mph sections and frequent abrupt interchanges create harder braking events than typical surface streets—worth factoring into your maintenance schedule.
Riverton High School
12 milesRiverton High School on 13000 South is one of Utah's largest and most recognized high schools, consistently ranking among the state's top academic performers. The school serves students from Riverton and surrounding Herriman communities and is a central institution in the city's identity.
Families in the Riverton High area can reach our shop via Bangerter north—about 16 minutes with normal traffic.
Jordan River (Riverton Access)
11 milesThe Jordan River flows through the western edge of Riverton, with parkway trails and natural areas accessible from 12600 South. The river corridor is a green belt that separates Riverton from neighboring communities and provides one of the few natural recreation areas in the southwest valley.
Western Riverton neighborhoods near the Jordan River occasionally experience road flooding during spring runoff—this can damage CV boots and undercarriage if you drive through standing water.
