Repair and Maintenance for Sandy Drivers

Tell us how you use your vehicle and what you have noticed. Here are some repairs and maintenance needs we can discuss.

Brake Service: Sandy commuters on I-15 to downtown face one of the most congested commutes in the valley. That stop-and-go I-15 traffic means more frequent braking than steady highway driving, which is harder on brake pads over time.
Clutch Repair: Manual transmission drivers commuting from Sandy to downtown via I-15 wear clutches quickly. Rush hour traffic on I-15 means constant clutch work that typical clutch lifespans don't account for.
Suspension Service: Sandy's location at the base of the Wasatch means canyon access and rough mountain roads for recreation. Combined with I-15 commuting, suspensions take a beating.
Timing Belt/Chain Service: Sandy commuters rack up miles quickly, 25+ mile round trips daily to downtown. Staying ahead of timing component replacement is critical to avoid catastrophic engine damage.

“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 has always preferred good work on my vehicles. I had his shop replace the driveline on my 2014 VW Touareg — not an easy job. The cost was cheaper than another shop. They did a great job. I had them rebuild the alternator because it was too cold for me to do it. The cost was better than I thought. I am very pleased with their work. Scott has always given me good solid advice.”
