What Our Customers are Saying
Super grateful to the team at ace! They got my car in very last minute and got diagnostics done relatively quickly. Though we ultimately decided the fixes weren’t worth spending on, I trust their judgement on the issues they found and would absolutely trust them to do work on any future car I’ve got! They were incredibly thorough with the troubleshooting and gave me a comprehensive list of the things my car needed and how important/immediate those fixes were to my safety.

Ace Auto was quick with my repairs. They are very knowledgeable and experienced. They identified areas where previous auto repair shops made repairs with used parts which resulted in oil leaks. I recommend Ace Auto.

Zach and his team were very helpful. He got my car in and out fast. Fixed my brakes at a fair price and then took the time to thoroughly explain the other repairs on my car that need to be done in the near future with a prioritized list and estimate of each item. Very professional, effecient and reasonably priced. I definately will recommend this auto repair shop to my friends and family.

Ace Auto Repair is the best place in the Salt Lake Valley to take your vehicle. Besides being great with cars, they’re hardworking, cost-efficient, old-school polite (which I love), and honest. I needed major work done on my engine that I didn’t fully understand. Zach and his team did a thorough check and then took the time to explain what was wrong, what needed to be done, and an exact quote on how much it would be. Zach explained everything in such a way that I never felt dumb, and when I apologized for asking so many questions he simply said, “That’s what I’m here for.” I highly recommend this group of amazing mechanics.

Even though they didn't have time for me in their schedule, they still managed to squeeze in a quick diagnostic and were able to tell me what was wrong with my car. Although I did not end up going through them for the final fix, they were incredibly professional and helpful 5 out of 5 recommend.

These guys are honest and dependable. They are a "test not guess" shop and have reasonable pricing. Other repair shops will just replace parts and hope that fixes it - all at your cost. These guys will work their butts off to find something that actually fixes your problem before making the repair and billing you for it. I really appreciate that. One time I brought my accord in because it was idling weird. They cleaned the throttle body which helped but a week later the problem came back. So they kept digging and turns out they had to resolder a connector somewhere and that fixed it. They were completely honest with everything and rushed me in when I came back for the same issue a 2nd time. Highly recommend

They do a great job, and afterwards give your vehicle a thorough inspection to see how everything else is working, to hopefully avoid future problems.

Excellent service. Zach was very clear what his limits were regarding my z32 project and quickly discovered a mistake made by another shop that helped advance my AC progress.

I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience with Ace Auto. I recently took my vehicle to them after noticing a significant oil leak. They were able to get me same day and had the problem identified and fixed within a matter of hours. What I feared would be an expensive trait ended up being very reasonable. Not only did they fix the issue, they looked over the vehicle and cleaned up a few other issues I wasn’t aware of. My car is running better now than it has in a long time. I will be taking my cars to Ace Auto moving forward!

These guys are fantastic! They had a loaner car for an affordable price, and they figured out the issue my car was having pretty quickly and got it fixed.Also ..I have never locked myself out of a car in my entire life, until I had their loaner at the gas station. I called to see if they had a 2nd key I could come grab, and he offered to come meet me and unlock it for me!Such great service all around, I'll definitely be back!

This was one of the best experiences I've had at a auto repair shop. Zack was very straightforward when presenting the results of their findings. Gave me a list of all the things that needed to happen and when I asked basically to get it running they only did those things and at the very end when he was showing me my bill we were viewing each item and he realized that they didn't do an alignment even though it was on the receipt. So he went back confirmed with this tech and realized it hadn't been done so he removed that charge. The honesty that they show has made me a lifetime customer.
Jesse Batton

This is the first time going here. Zack was beyond helpful in explaining the issues of my vehicle. Keeping me informed on all prices, services required, and time frame of completion.I definitely will be returning with other vehicles!

The Ace Auto team found the cause of two noises i had when others failed to. They also identified other concerns with honest feedback when questioned on priority and parts availability. If you are tired of the dealership give Zach a call. You will get the respect you deserve and can trust they will get it done.

A little about me:My dad is an auto mechanic, and has been for about 45 years. As a 16th birthday gift, he got me a red 1989 Honda Civic... At least the bare frame of one (this was in 2008). I spent the next year going to Pick&Pulls getting every single bolt, every single wire, every single scrap of metal under the hood, removed from lifeless, long dead hulks. I love working on cars. I love the feeling of accomplishment and pride I get when I fix a problem that's been a thorn in my brain for sometimes weeks.Time passes and I have a family and kids, I don't have as much time as I used to have. My truck starts sounding a little louder under the hood than expected and I suspect an exhaust manifold leak (I was right). But I know that means I might have to extract some rusty bolts and snap some studs. Tough work that would take me a few days of work, and something if I screw up and be a tough fix.Reluctantly I schedule the repair and Ace got me in only 3 days after I called. They got the manifold fixed, and told me (and this is common, after you replace one) that the other exhaust manifold was leaking slightly, you could hear it. I asked the manager on the phone "do you think I need to get it fixed now?" And they said, "honestly no. It'll last for some time, and when it gets worse we'll be here." First time ever I've even HEARD of a mechanic shop saying no, you don't need to fix it. I told them to slap the other one in anyway.Honest. Competitively priced. Fast and impeccable work. What else do you want from a mechanic?! World class shop.

I came to Ace auto with a demolished skid guard due to the recent snow storm. My tiny card couldn’t handle all the ice chunks on the road. While there, they also did a quick look over and diagnostic of my whole car. The oil was a bit past needing to be changed, which I knew, but Had planned on taking care of the following week. There was also a faulty radiator cap and low fluid. I was given a run down on cost, and it was actually quite reasonable for everything. Especially the oil change. I decided to knock it all out. I don’t know how they managed to salvage the skid guard, but they did, and the whole endeavor only took about an hour and a half. The experience was pleasant.

Zach and his team kept my old truck alive. And not like a cool-78-k20-show-truck-in-the-rough. More like a rusty-96-b23-commuter-when-I'm-not-motorcycling. 1) They were willing to take a look at the brake fluid sprootzing out onto the back tire every time I "stopped". 2) They expertly ran a new brake line under the gas tank, OEM style. 3) They cleaned, lubed, bled, and otherwise manhandled my neglected brakes, into a best-ever condition! 3) They pointed out only mission-critical extras they found and didn't mind when "I'll do that myself".On top of all that, they were quick, true to their time and price estimate, communicative, and friendly. Their shop is clean, orderly, uniform, and pretty rad inside. I lucked out living close to these guys.

Zach and his crew at ace auto stand behind their work. They do their best to give quality at a fair value. They correct the hiccups with courtesy. As a woman getting my car repaired I trust them. They observed quoted repaired and stood behind their repairs until I was satisfied. Means a lot.

I have had Ace Auto work on both of my vehicles and have been happy with the maintenance they've preformed and their outstanding customer service. Today I called for a pre purchase inspection on a vehicle I'm looking to buy. They were too booked up for my timeline but were helpful in recommendations of other shops to get my inspection done. These guys are there to help their customers get taken care of in anyway they can.
Brock Allen

I have been taking my vehicles to Zach and his team for years. They have always been fair but more important they are honest. They always call and explain exactly what the issues are and lets you decide on what you'd like done. I have never been disappointed. I would recommend Zach and team at Ace to anyone.

These folks are awesome! In under a week, they sorted out a power issue I've been having for two years due to some jury-rigged fix the previous owners made. Gave great advice on some other fixes that needed doing and priced everything fairly, too. I'll be comin' back here for sure.

We met Zac, by talking to our son Mike, he took his truck to Zac, and was very pleased with the service he received. Zac was very up front with what he was going to do, and told us that before he would work on our vehicle, that he would tell us what was wrong, and how much it would cost. He checked it out from top to bottom, we came home very satisfied, that we had taken our vehicle to the right 👍 mechanic. Thanks Zac

I needed a when bearing pressed in Asap, and these were the only guys open late on a saturday and willing to do it with just the spindle and my own bearings. They were fast and mentioned my hubs were bad, so they got those in sane day and replaced those as well. I RARELY let anyone work on my car, these guys are great.

I do all my own services and brought my hub assembly to them to have the old hub/bearing removed and the new ones pressed in.Zach and everyone else at Ace are life savers. Brought them the parts and had my wheel bearing and hub pressed in within 30 minutes for me to reinstall in the vehicle. Saved me hours of swearing and knuckle busting.

I took my car and explained what was going on and they thought it would be best to use diagnostics to find out was exactly going on. Sadly they found a lot. But they explained what was wrong and what they needed to do to fix it. But first wanted my permission.They were honest which went a long way for me. Even though I could only do the bare minimum the car is running the same as when I bought it. I will be going back when I can afford the other repairs. I would definitely recommend this company.

These guys did a great job on my AC repair. Charged a decent price to get it done as well. Offered to fix any issues my AC had up to a month after. Which was cool. But never had to go back they did it right the first time. Will go back for other repairs my car might need.
Brandon Evans

I've been to Ace Auto twice and while I've since moved, I'll make the drive there. The first time I brought my car in, they were able to get me in next day and I had the clutch replaced and Zach consistently communicated with me about parts and pricing. Most recently I noticed my clutch was feeling off, they were able to get me in the next week and it ended up being a super cheap part and they suggested some small maintenance items. Employees are honest and kind, pricing is fair, and communication is top notch. Customer for life you guys, great job.

A properly maintained vehicle will function more reliably and safer. Proper auto maintenance is also likely to extend the life of your car. A vehicle’s specific maintenance requirements can depend on a combination of factors. These can include the miles driven, the driver’s operating habits, the environmental conditions, the manufacturer’s recommendations. See your owner’s manual for maintenance advisories.
Good auto maintenance habits also tend to bring car owners greater satisfaction with their vehicles. Here are the essential routine vehicle maintenance recommendations and generalized estimates of the average suggested timelines for service.
These approximations are based entirely on mileage or timeframes, not on an actual examination of the vehicle’s condition. You may be able to complete a number of these maintenance chores on your own, while others will probably require a trip to your auto shop.
Engine Oil and Filter
Change oil and filter, and lubricate front end and other points every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
Battery
Replace battery every year, or as needed.
Air Conditioning System
Check AC system, add freon, service every spring, or as needed.
Tires
Rotate every 3,000 to 5,000 miles depending on tire type.
Brakes
Check and replace brake pads and turn or replace disks every year or as needed.

Even if your vehicle appears to be running well, the light may indicate a more serious problem that needs to be addressed soon to prevent damage to the engine.

If there are visible cracks in a belt or hose, the part should be replaced. We recommend belt and hose replacement every 3 to 4 years. If a hose looks softened or swollen, it may need to be replaced. This can happen when a hose deteriorates inside without showing any visible signs of degeneration on the outside. So, a good rule of thumb is to replace belts and hoses periodically, under the advice of your auto maintenance specialist.
Timeframes for routine replacement of belts and hoses may be based on multiple factors affecting their condition over time in your particular vehicle.
