About South Salt Lake

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.

The Central Pointe TRAX hub makes South Salt Lake one of the most transit-accessible communities in Utah.

Rio Grande Depot

1.8 miles

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 Corridor

0.2 miles

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.

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

Clutch Repair: South Salt Lake drivers navigating State Street traffic and I-15 onramps put heavy wear on their clutches. We're the clutch specialists—it's literally our name.
