Sandy is one of the valley's largest suburbs, and our shop is just 8 miles north—about 12 minutes up I-15 or State Street. We're worth the short drive for clutch specialists and honest pricing that Sandy's chain shops can't match.

America First Field (previously Rio Tinto Stadium) at 9256 State Street in Sandy is the home of Real Salt Lake of Major League Soccer and Utah Royals FC of the NWSL. The 20,000-seat soccer-specific stadium opened in 2008 and is one of the finest soccer venues in the US. Match days create significant traffic on State Street and 9000 South.
Match day traffic on 9000 South is brutal on manual transmissions. If your clutch smells or slips after a game night, bring it in.
