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.
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 Millcreek area landmarks and how they connect to our shop.
Millcreek Canyon is a year-round recreation destination managed by Salt Lake County—open to hikers, mountain bikers, and dogs year-round. The canyon road climbs steeply into the Wasatch Mountains with popular trails including Pipeline, Rattlesnake Gulch, and the Upper and Lower Big Water trails. The canyon entrance is at 3800 S Millcreek Canyon Road.
If you hike or bike Millcreek Canyon regularly, your brakes are working overtime on every descent. We check rotors for heat damage and warping from sustained downhill braking.
Millcreek Common is the city's newly developed town center on 3300 South near 900 East—a mixed-use development with restaurants, retail, and a public plaza. It represents Millcreek's evolution from an unincorporated township to a full city with its own civic identity since incorporation in 2016.
The Common is a natural stopping point before heading west on 3300 South toward our shop.
Skyline High School is one of Salt Lake County's largest public high schools, serving students from Millcreek, Holladay, and the Mount Olympus area. The school is known for its academics and athletics programs and is a central institution for east-side families.
Take 3900 South west from Skyline's area to State Street, then south to Crystal Ave—about 7 minutes.
The Mount Olympus trailhead at 4930 S Wasatch Blvd is the gateway to one of Salt Lake Valley's most iconic hikes—a strenuous 8-mile round trip to the 9,026-foot summit with sweeping views of the entire valley. It's one of the most popular day hikes in Utah.
Hikers heading to Mount Olympus often leave their cars at the trailhead all day. If you want your vehicle checked while you hike, drop it with us the morning before.
