South Salt Lake's mix of industrial corridors and residential neighborhoods means heavy stop-and-go traffic on State Street and 3300 South. That kind of driving accelerates brake wear and clutch fatigue, especially if you drive a manual. We see it every day—and we fix it every day.

South Salt Lake was incorporated in 1938 and has transformed from an industrial hub into a diverse community of over 25,000 residents. The city's central location between downtown Salt Lake City and the southern suburbs makes it a crossroads for commuters throughout the valley. Its ongoing revitalization along State Street has brought new restaurants, breweries, and creative businesses alongside long-established industrial and commercial operations. The Central Pointe TRAX hub makes South Salt Lake one of the most transit-accessible communities in Utah.
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 South Salt Lake area landmarks and how they connect to our shop.
Central Pointe is a major hub on both the TRAX Red and Green lines, connecting South Salt Lake to downtown Salt Lake City, the University of Utah, and Salt Lake City International Airport. It's one of the most-used TRAX stations in the valley.

The historic Rio Grande Depot on 300 South is one of Salt Lake City's most recognizable landmarks—a stunning 1910 Beaux-Arts station that now houses the Utah State Historical Society. It's a hub for the Rio Grande neighborhood's ongoing redevelopment.
Heading to the depot area or Granary Row? We're a straight shot south on State Street—easy detour before or after your visit.
State Street is the central commercial spine of South Salt Lake and one of the most heavily trafficked roads in Salt Lake County. The constant stop-and-go from 2100 South to 3900 South is one of the main reasons South Salt Lake drivers wear through brakes and clutches faster than the valley average.
If your brakes squeak every time you hit a red light on State Street, bring it in—those lights are hard on pads.
