We compared 19 car repair shops in Salt Lake City on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

Some car repair shops in Salt Lake City are general mechanics, and some started as tire shops and grew into repair. The shops on this page hold more than 3,400 Google reviews between them, with ratings from 4.4 to 4.9, and review counts that run from more than 330 to more than 1,020. A tire-first garage and a full-service mechanic will both fix your brakes, but they'll feel different on a bigger job.

Short answer: Master AutoTech is the full-service pick, with 4.7 stars from more than 870 Google reviews, a shop on Main Street that lists brakes, engine, transmission and a 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty. Little Garage has a 4.8, and Lok Automotive has the highest rating at 4.9. No prices are published here.

How the scorecards work

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the shop, ranked against the others here. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from hundreds of people carries more than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews.
