About Midvale

Midvale has about 35,000 residents and a rich industrial heritage rooted in the smelting and mining industries that shaped the southwest valley. The city has reinvented itself with the Bingham Junction mixed-use development near its TRAX stations, drawing new residents and businesses while honoring its working-class roots. Midvale's location at the I-15/I-215 junction makes it one of the most centrally located mid-valley communities.

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 Midvale area landmarks and how they connect to our shop.

Midvale TRAX Stations

5 miles

Midvale has two TRAX stations on the Blue Line—Midvale Center and Fort Union—connecting Midvale directly to downtown Salt Lake City, Sandy, and Draper without a car. The stations have made Midvale one of the more transit-accessible mid-valley communities and are a key part of the city's Bingham Junction redevelopment.

Drop your car at our shop and take TRAX north from Central Pointe if you need to get downtown. The Blue Line runs frequently throughout the day.

Bingham Junction

5 miles

Bingham Junction is Midvale's landmark redevelopment area near the historic Midvale Smelter site, featuring mixed-use development, transit-oriented housing, and retail centered on the TRAX stations. The area represents Midvale's transformation from an industrial and mining heritage city to a modern mixed-use community.

Bingham Junction residents are just 5 miles from our shop—quick drive north on State Street or I-15 to 3300 South.

Historic Downtown Midvale

4.5 miles

Midvale's historic Main Street district along State Street south of 7200 South retains its mid-century character with local businesses, restaurants, and service shops that have served the community for generations. The area reflects Midvale's mining and smelting heritage and its evolution into a diverse modern city.

From historic downtown Midvale on State Street, it's a straight shot north—about 8 minutes to our shop at Crystal Ave.

I-15 / I-215 Interchange

4.5 miles

The I-15 and I-215 interchange near Midvale is one of the most heavily traveled freeway junctions in Utah, handling traffic from the east bench, the airport corridor, and southern suburbs. The interchange's short merge lanes and high traffic volumes create frequent hard braking events—making it one of the main reasons Midvale drivers need more frequent brake and clutch service.

Daily commuters through the I-15/I-215 interchange experience significant brake wear. If you merge here every day, annual brake inspections are a minimum.

Auto Repair Services for Midvale Drivers

We handle everything from clutch repair and brake service to timing chains, CV axles, exhaust, and cooling systems — all makes and models, domestic and import.

Based on 35+ years of serving Midvale drivers, here are the repairs we're called on most often and why local driving conditions create the demand:

Brake Service: The I-15/I-215 interchange near Midvale has some of the shortest merge lanes in the valley, meaning Midvale drivers brake hard at freeway speeds. This wears brakes faster than sustained highway driving.
Clutch Repair: Midvale commuters using I-15 to head north face heavy rush-hour traffic that wears manual transmission clutches quickly. Stop-and-go freeway driving is the hardest condition on a clutch.
Suspension Service: Midvale's older streets and the I-15/I-215 interchange mean rough patches that wear suspension faster than smoother newer roads.
Complete Auto Service: Midvale's mix of older established neighborhoods and newer developments means varied vehicle ages, all benefiting from consistent preventive maintenance.
