Holladay was incorporated in 1999 and is home to about 31,000 residents in one of the east bench's most desirable communities. Nestled between Mount Olympus and the broader Salt Lake Valley, Holladay offers established neighborhoods with mature trees, strong schools, and easy access to both Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons. The city has maintained its quiet residential character while continuing to develop its Holladay Village commercial core.
Scott's Auto & Clutch 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 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 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 (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 (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.
