Finally found an honest place I can trust to work on my car. Zach was awesome and I really appreciate the quality of work! Thank you very much! I'll be back for any future work needed.
Had our alternator go out on the way home from work on a Thursday. We barely made it to their parking lot before it completely died. Zach said they didn't have any time available until Tuesday, but promised to get to it as soon as possible. He called me Friday afternoon to let me know it was indeed the alternator. He was able to get it replaced and some routine maintenance done as well and got it back to us by Saturday evening. They were great to work with and got it done way faster than I expected. I would highly recommend them.
We’ve been customers of Ace for almost a year and have been extremely pleased with the service we receive on our 2 cars. The team sends estimates with items listed from “fix now” to “can wait,” which is incredibly helpful. And they are always available to talk us through what is happening and the service we might need. Most recently, we started towing with one of our vehicles and the team helped us decide how to best protect it with different transmission services. I can’t recommend them more highly!
Ace Auto Repair is the best place anyone could and should go for service repairs and oil changes. During the oil change, they also checked other little things at no additional charge and offered to change my back wiper blade and air filter at no added cost, except the parts, which were inexpensive. I declined but they said they would do them anytime. Great place to leave my suv for an hour or two and come back to a nice running, worry-free oil change. Great guys work here and have great customer service. Thanks Ace!
We have trusted Ace for years. They are honest, do excellent work, never pressure us but recommend service to keep our car running well. Zach and Jake give personal customer service that you don’t find in a huge shop. We highly recommend them.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Irene! We're delighted to hear that you appreciate our honest service and the personal touch from Zach and Jake. We're grateful for your trust over the years and look forward to keeping your car running smoothly!
ACE is great. I only use them for all of our car needs, they keep great records of our cars for current and upcoming repairs and maintenance.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words, Libby! We're delighted to hear that you trust us with your cars and are pleased with our quick diagnostics and maintenance services. We're glad you found us too and look forward to keeping your vehicles running smoothly!
At first I got a diagnosis for repairs, had AC leak, bad shocks and tires needed to be replaced plus oil change.
Zach (hope I spell the name correctly) took the car in, at first I was afraid of what other repairs would be required.
The car did not do so well on the AC and had to go back to the shop. Zach saw my frustration as the car belongs to my daughter and of course we were not in a good position to spend more money. Ace worked with us up to the end and we’re very understanding about everything and our frustration and got my daughter’s car back on the road and helped us all the way. Very Glad we took the vehicle to you. I only met Zach but I am sure more people are to thank here. Thanks for everything again
These guys are awesome! They did my transmission fluid the RIGHT way and for a fraction of the price that the steal-ership wanted to do just a flush. The guys are very informative, honest, upfront and super knowledgeable as well. All things that are hard to find with a mechanic shop, unfortunately. They easily earned a lifelong customer. 👍
Can't recommend these guys enough. I've been having them work on two different cars I've owned over the past couple years, and they have always been kind, patient, fair, and helpful. I've even had a dealership give me a free rundown of a car I bought there, then I called Ace to get their second opinion, and they were kind enough to translate all the mechanic gibberish to normal English for me as they gave me their second opinions on the initial assessment. I'm moving out of state soon, but these guys will be changing my oil and doing inspections and repairs anytime I'm back visiting Utah.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words and fantastic rating! We're delighted to hear that you appreciate our fair and quick service at Ace Auto Repair. Looking forward to serving you again!
They replaced the A/C compressor and the rear brakes and rotors. The price was fair, the work was quick, and the craftsmanship was excellent. I will use them again
These guys were great! I called them Saturday morning with squealing brakes, and they were able to take care of the brakes and rotors same day at a very reasonable cost. Zach kept me informed along the way, and the entire experience was smooth without any drama. I highly recommend them!
They promptly serviced my truck and had good recommendations of a few things to watch.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Darin, for the fantastic review! I'm glad to hear our team kept you well-informed during the process. We appreciate your patience and look forward to serving you again in the future.
Why Neglecting Wheel Alignment Service Costs More Than You Think
Misalignment is not just uncomfortable; it is expensive. When your wheels are out of alignment, they drag instead of rolling. That friction increases tire wear, wastes gas, and strains your steering and suspension.
If you ignore these signs, you will find yourself replacing tires more often, losing fuel efficiency, and possibly facing costly suspension repairs. A quick alignment service not only restores safety and comfort but also saves you hundreds of dollars over time.
Regular alignment checks keep your vehicle safe, stable, and economical to drive.
What is a Wheel Alignment Service?
A wheel alignment is a precise adjustment of your vehicle’s suspension system to ensure your tires make optimal contact with the road. Alignment brings your wheels back to a perfect angle relative to your car’s chassis and to each other.
When alignment is off, your vehicle’s handling, tire wear, and fuel economy all suffer. Our technicians use computerized sensors to measure and adjust three key angles: camber, caster, and toe. This ensures your car performs exactly as the manufacturer intended.
Benefits of Regular Wheel Alignment
Keeping your vehicle properly aligned provides immediate and long-term benefits:
Improves handling, stability, and safety while driving
Extends tire life by ensuring even tread wear
Enhances fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance
Protects suspension and steering components from extra strain
Reduces vibration and provides a smoother, quieter ride
Every alignment at Ace Auto Repair comes with a printout showing before and after measurements so you can see the improvement yourself.
How to Know When You Need a Wheel Alignment
The only way to be sure if your car needs alignment is to have a professional inspection. Still, these common signs suggest it is time:
Your car pulls to one side when driving straight
The steering wheel is off-center
Tires show uneven or rapid tread wear
Steering feels loose, unsteady, or vibrates
You have hit potholes, curbs, or road debris recently
Note: Tire noise from uneven wear can be caused by prior misalignment. In those cases, alignment corrects the cause but will not fix worn tires themselves. Those may also need replacement.
Routine wheel alignments should be included in your vehicle’s regular maintenance. Slight misalignment develops gradually, so having it checked at least once a year (or twice if you drive on rough roads) prevents uneven tire wear.
Common Causes of Misalignment:
Natural aging of suspension components
Impacts with potholes, curbs, or debris
Aggressive driving or sharp turns
Overloading the vehicle
Minor or major collisions
Improper vehicle lifting or lowering
Suspension or steering repairs without alignment recalibration

Types of Wheel Alignment Services
Different vehicles require different alignment methods. Our team determines which one suits your vehicle:
Adjusts the front wheels only. It is the simplest form, but it is less accurate for modern vehicles.
2. Thrust Alignment
Aligns the front wheels to match the thrust line, which is the average trajectory of the rear wheels. This method is ideal for cars without adjustable rear suspension.
3. Four-Wheel Alignment
Aligns all four wheels with the vehicle’s centerline. It is the most precise and recommended option for most modern cars, SUVs, and trucks.
If your vehicle allows all-wheel alignment, it is always the best choice for complete accuracy.
Alignment costs vary depending on your vehicle, wheel drive type, and whether it needs a front-end, thrust, or full four-wheel alignment.
At Ace Auto Repair, we offer free visual alignment checks before any work is performed. If your alignment is within factory specifications, there is no charge.
We provide an honest, upfront quote before every service, and if we cannot improve the alignment, you do not pay.

Most alignments take between 30 minutes and 1 hour, depending on the type of vehicle and whether adjustments are needed on one axle or all four. If components such as tie rods or suspension parts are damaged, the service may take longer. We always give you an estimated time before we start.
How often should I get a wheel alignment?
Generally, every 6,000 miles or 6 months is a good rule of thumb. It is also recommended after replacing tires, hitting a pothole, curb, or if your car feels off-center. Regular checks prevent uneven tire wear and catch small suspension issues early.
Can potholes or bumps cause misalignment?
Yes. A single hard impact with a pothole or curb can shift your suspension out of specification, even if you do not see visible damage. That is why it is smart to have your alignment checked after any major road impact.
Can I do a wheel alignment at home?
No. Wheel alignment requires computerized alignment machines that measure each wheel’s angle down to fractions of a degree. Attempting it at home can lead to improper settings and faster tire wear.
Is wheel alignment the same as tire balancing?
No. Balancing corrects uneven tire weight distribution to prevent vibration, while alignment corrects your wheel angles to ensure straight tracking and proper handling. Both are essential but they are different services.
Can misaligned wheels affect fuel efficiency?
Absolutely. Misaligned wheels create rolling resistance that forces your engine to work harder, reducing fuel economy by up to 10 percent. Proper alignment keeps everything moving efficiently.
Do new tires need an alignment?
Yes. Installing new tires without alignment may cause them to wear unevenly from the start. Aligning your wheels ensures the new tires perform as intended and last longer.
What are the risks of driving with misaligned wheels?
You risk uneven tire wear, reduced control, longer braking distances, poor fuel economy, and eventually damage to your suspension and steering components.
How does wheel alignment affect braking?
When wheels are aligned properly, all tires contact the road evenly. This improves braking stability and reduces stopping distances. Misalignment can make your vehicle pull or skid during hard braking.
Is alignment necessary after replacing suspension parts?
Yes. Anytime you replace parts that affect suspension geometry, such as control arms, tie rods, or struts, you should realign the vehicle to factory specifications.
