I've gotten both my vehicles worked on by them.My first visit was very professional and welcoming. And on my second visit. It was more the same. It gave me that old school feel, like I've grown up with them in the same neighborhood. And no, we won't talk about those days. LolI would highly recommend them for any of your car needs. We all know that there's no way around the cost of fixing your vehicle. But if you want it done right then you know Ace Auto Repair is the place to be.

Zach at Ace Auto was very honest, helpful, kind, knowledgeable, and communicative. Took my car in to get a noise checked out and he was able to pinpoint what the cause was and got it fixed. Also, they were not over priced with the work that was done. Really liked the software they use for their estimate. Will be bringing my car for regular service.

When the dealer told me they wouldn’t work on my car’s misfire because it’s slightly modified (cold air intake and a tune), I had to find somewhere else to take my Subaru. These guys did a great job! Zach in particular was very upfront and honest, keeping me up to date at every step of the way and even tried to save me a little money along the way even if I never expressed that was a concern.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Excellent customer service. Knowledgeable and provided clear and informative diagnostic with pros and cons of each possible repair option.I feel like an intelligent individual, but my knowledge around mechanical/car repair issues is admittedly lacking. My questions were answered in a way I could understand, and I did not feel dismissed or like my concerns were trivial.

They were very friendly and offered to let you see what was going on and they gave you different avenues that you could take if it were possible and let you choose which one you wanted to do which is nice instead of telling you this is what you have to do when there’s probably more options, they actually told the truth and there is a couple options you have !

I brought in an older model mazda with AC problems for a diagnosis. Zach was very professional and was able to to get to it the same day. After significant time they spent diagnosing, it turns out that the AC issues would be more costly to fix than I'm willing to spend on this older car, but they were honest and up-front with what they believe the problems are. The cost factor is not because they are overcharging- it's just that AC systems are expensive. I would definitely bring my cars here in the future.

Great customer experience, Zach and his team did an awesome job fixing my AC in a 2012 Honda Civic at a fair price.Even though it was a higher price than other shops quoted- you get what you pay for and I always felt in good hands.Zach was always a straight shooter, welcoming, and courteous.When my Civic wasn't blowing cold air after the initial repair, took it right back in and they got a troublesome O ring replaced quickly.They are upfront, honest, and accommodated the need to get my vehicle back on the road soon as possible with the work required.Plus fixed my serp belt and corrosion on my battery!Thanks guys!Will be coming back for repairs done in the future, highly recommend to anyone

Zack and the staff at Ace Auto Repair are amazing. We are from out of town and had radiator trouble with our van. We had places to go in the Salt Lake Valley and needed to get home to Logan (90 miles north). Ace Auto Care made the time to fit us in, analyze the situation, find replacement parts and provide a honest and competitive price. They also had a loner car that we were able to rent at an affordable price for the day. The repairs were completed by the end of the day. They communicated clearly through the day letting us know the progress of our van. They went above and beyond! I would highly recommend Ace Auto Care for your auto repair needs!

5 Signs It Is Time to Get Your Brakes Checked by a Professional

How to check your brakes

How to check your brakes

 

Here at Ace Auto Repair, we want you to know the 5 signs of worn brakes. We like our customers to feel safe and secure in their vehicle. By knowing what to look and listen for, you could save money by catching small problems with your brakes before they become an even bigger problem.

Worn Out Brake PadWorn Brake Pads

Most cars use what are known as disc brakes. A hydraulic system filled with brake fluid triggers a set of pads that clamp down on the cars calipers, which causes them to squeeze together on a disc known as the rotor. The friction that occurs between the pads and rotor eventually stops the car. Over time, as you can imagine, the pads will begin to wear thin, which means they'll become less effective at slowing and stopping your car. To check the thickness of your brake pads, all you need to do is look between the spokes of your wheel to spot the shiny metal rotor inside. When you find it, look around the outer edge where you'll see the metal caliper. Between the caliper and rotor, you'll see the pad. You'll have to estimate, but generally, your pads should be at least one-quarter of an inch thick. If they're any thinner than that, it's a good idea to get them changed. If your car wheel isn't designed in such a way that you can see through the spokes, you'll have to remove the tire to see the rotor and pads. In either case, while you're looking, it's also a good idea to inspect the rotor itself. It should be relatively smooth. If you see any deep grooves or pits, it might also be time to replace that, as well.

Strange Sounds

hearing sounds brake repairOne of the warning signs that your brakes need servicing can come from a small indicator in your braking system that emits a high-pitched squeal when your pads need replacing. In addition to the squeal from the sensor, you'll also want to listen for a harsh grinding sound. This means that you've gone completely through your brake pads and now, when you apply the brakes, the metal of the calipers is grinding against the metal of your rotors. Not only is this an ineffective way to stop your car, chances are good that you'll also damage your rotors, thus turning a relatively easy and inexpensive pad job, into a more costly rotor resurfacing or replacement ordeal. Remember each brake pad comes equipped with a wear indicator that squeals when your pads need replacing.

Pulling

car pulling need new brakesHas your car ever felt like your car has a mind of its own? As if it wants to make right or left hand turns while driving or braking? If so, this could indicate a problem with the braking system. The cause of this pulling might be a stuck caliper. Because such a scenario would cause friction on one wheel and not the others, your car can pull to the side where the caliper is stuck. Two other brake-related scenarios that could cause a car to pull would be a collapsed brake hose that would cause your calipers to move unevenly when applying the brakes, or uneven brake pads, which would also apply different amounts of pressure to different wheels. Pulling, however, doesn't always indicate a problem with the brakes. The cause could also come from unevenly inflated or worn tires, poor alignment or a problem with your vehicle's suspension. This is why, if your car begins to pull, you may want to pull up to the Ace Auto Repair and have our ASE technician do a full checkup on the problem.

Vibrations

DRIVING_vibration-brakesIf your brake pedal pulses under normal braking circumstances, you could have a problem. Generally, a vibrating brake pedal indicates warped rotors. Their uneven surfaces will thrum against the brake pads, and you'll feel the feedback through the brake pedal. Rotors usually only warp when they're under extreme stress for an extended period. The friction-generated heat caused by driving down steep mountainsides or by stopping frequently while towing something heavy, can cause the metal of the rotors to change shape. If you haven't stressed your brakes recently, but you still feel vibration in the pedal, it may be best to take it in for a diagnostic test.

Temperamental Pedal

pedal brake pad repairIn addition to thrumming, your brake pedal can give you other indications that your car's braking system might need examining. A mushy pedal, one that goes practically to the floor before engaging the brakes, could indicate worn pads or a problem with the hydraulic system, such as air in the line, an air leak, or a brake fluid leak. To check for a fluid leak, put an old white sheet or piece of light cardboard under the car overnight. In the morning, examine any fluid that collects. Brake fluid will be practically clear and the consistency of cooking oil. The opposite of a mushy pedal is one that causes the brakes to grab immediately at the slightest touch. This could indicate an unevenly worn rotor, dirty brake fluid, or contamination of the fluid by moisture. You can solve such a problem with a relatively inexpensive change of fluid.
