Got introduced to this place by the Yelp Elite program recently, and was thinking of doing my next oil change with them in couple of months. But them suddenly one morning (just a few hours before kids' long awaited doctor's s appointment of course!) my Honda van won't start...it seemed like my battery was down. I called couple of mechanic shops but none of them could squeeze me in for same day check up. But when I called the State Automotive and explained them my situation, Dustin told me that they will do an inspection on my battery ASA I reach them and will change it if needed. Long story short...after going there I found out that the previous mechanic who changed the battery and gave me a "Napa" battery (found the info in the receipt), & then charged me for it and the service in 2017 actually DID NOT replace my original Honda battery from 2013 :/ When I asked, Dustin was super nice and took pictures of the old battery and wrote a description for me so I can show that to the old mechanic and texted me those later that day. I really appreciate the help and (quick) service they provided me that day, and thanks to them I was able to make to the doctor's appointment on time :) Thank you so much for all great service! Will definitely recommend them to my friends and family, and I'll be going back myself as well. #ServiceStarShoutOut read more

See all

I went in today for an oil change and road trip inspection. The price was really good! The guys I interacted with were friendly. And I really appreciated their honesty! They told me my car was great and didn't need any additional work. I feel extra good about going on a road trip now! AND they have free hot cocoa. Any place with a free treat means my kids aren't mad about coming with me and waiting! PS- their parking lot is pretty "intimidating" (employee's words) but they were cool with me abandoning my car where there was space and at the end they helped me get my car into position for an easy exit so don't be afraid to ask! They were very nice about it! read more

Wow, this is a tough category. It's so hard to find a good mechanic because it's a fine balance of needed repairs to cautionary repairs. Most of the time it's never just X, it's, oh we found this additional issue. I can say that happened to me when I brought in my car for a leaky sensor. Got that lovely call saying the housing was also cracked. The joy. But Dustin did a pretty good job of describing what was necessary. I didn't get the "upsell" vibe at all. This was actually my second service there. The first I had an oil change with quality parts. Dustin gave me a brief history of the shop and explained how his people are paid so it's about doing the right thing for the customer and not about selling services. It's hard to find a garage like that anymore. I'd recommend this shop. read more

$590 labor only for an hour and a quarter to replace a CV axle on a 4Runner. (Other shops charge about $280 labor.) The service writer, the rudest I'd ever encountered in my 71 years, then tried to scam me into paying an additional $100 for alignment -- an obvious "up-sell" scam, as alignment has nothing to do with replacing a CV axle. I refused. I also refused the outrageous $590 charge, and he dropped it to $400+something. He wouldn't even write up an invoice for the job. I told him I wanted my original CV axle, and he went out to the trash and came back with some bogus part that was not mine. As I was leaving I saw the mechanic (who did a good job, BTW). I asked him how the replacement went. Easy and quick, he said. All this after going to and trusting State Auto for years. But while there I learned it had been sold. The people I trusted were gone. I reported all this to the new owner, and never heard back. read more

Hard to find someone you can trust especially when you have an older car. These guys know Toyotas like nobody else and most importantly they are honest. They took our 25+ year old 4Runner and did some maintenance. I fully expected them to come back with a long list of recommended repairs. Instead, they came back with an extenstive list of things to watch for in the future. For example they said alternators on these usually go out around this many miles so best to prepare for it. Your suspension probably has another 10-15k miles of life in it. Any just about everything they predicted over the next two years happened. It was like taking my old car to a fortune teller. Their work has been outstanding and prices very competitive. read more

the boi miesen really helped me out today getting my tire replaced I would highly recommend coming to his shop and asking for his help! read more

State Automotive - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Midvale, Utah

This really is a full-service auto repair shop, and I've had some positive experiences with them so it's time to share. I share reluctantly, because I don't want it to get overrun and harder for me to get in, but in the spirit of Yelp and sending folks to great local businesses, I am compelled to tell you about this place. To catch you up to speed, I used to have a regular shop. After a long, gradual, and obvious downhill slide with the other guys, I had a friend tell me about State Automotive. The story he told (I haven't verified) is that it was an older fella's shop, and he's now turned it over to the kids to run. They're motivated to build the business, and are bringing in some good practices to try to earn loyal customers. Not sure if the narrative is accurate, by my experience fits that story, so I'm going with it. Since my car-speak is not so good---I know there's no such thing as blinker fluid, but am no pro under the hood---I'll leave all the specifics to a minimum here. Basically, I had a check engine light that was keeping my car from passing inspection. The old place jerked me around, I brought it here, and I got a quick, straightforward assessment. They told me what they thought was wrong, about how much it would be to fix it, what could also be a cause later, what that would cost if indeed we needed to pursue more solutions, and gave me a good price (MUCHO less than the old place) and a reasonable timeline. The old place had fixed a part, kind of halfway, and it led to the check engine problems. Dustin at State got on the phone with them, did the detective work about what they had really done, and presented me with options. He went above and beyond, IMO. True to their word, I didn't pay a dime more than they had quoted me, they fixed it exactly when they said they would, and I left happy. A few days later during those miles you have to put on after check engine codes are cleared and a new inspection has to take place, the check engine light came on again. I was able to bring it in, have them look at it, and they fixed a small error in the last repair. I wasn't charged a cent for that--they had it for a while and stood by their work and made it right. A few miles later, no more light, we're running smooth, we've passed inspection, and I'm all current on my registration. I hate car drama. But these guys make it pretty straight forward. Take it in, they'll level with you, tell you what it may cost, give you their best estimates and ideas, and in the end, they are much cheaper than other places. That's all I want, and I'm very glad to have found them. Here's hoping that with their continued success they can stick with the same level of attention and care to customers as they're currently giving. read more

First time using State Automotive.. will definitely be back! Car started mysteriously not starting. These guys got it in and started working on it right away. Super nice, quick, and very helpful. Took great care of me.. definitely gained a new loyal customer! read more

I had an alignment done and the steering wheel was not straight. So the car still went to the right. Later on my transmission and generator went out so they said and I payed 8k to fix. Car sounds like something is stuck while I accelerate and there is a click noise when it's on park at times. Tried to contact them but they never replied. Ended up having to leave town for work so I just feel bamboozled. read more

After just moving to Utah,I went searching for a trusted shop to work on my 2007 FJ. Based on a recommendation from a local FJ club, I decided to give State Auto a try and was not disappointed. I have worked as a service writer for 26 years and greatly appreciate the professionalism from the staff here. They were honest and on time with their promise time, did not adjust or move seat or radio for the test drive and above all they did exactly what they said they would do. Thank you and I will be back! read more

So here's the update! Tried to give State automotive a chance to make things right! Calling Dustin or anyone from this place Is a joke now! I gave them three stars last time but with what I'm digging up on my Venza now I don't think they did anything for the week they had It! Other then what I said last review things being stolen and the Interior covered In grease and the Venzas looking like It was taken for a joy ride of what they claimed was never done Is out In the open! Brake lines loose bleeder's loose Interior busted up code's that Dustin claimed are the for the ABS/Track control are there!? So I've narrowed most down w/ air in the lines also a lot of loose brake lines which will have to be bleed like Dustin claimed again were done! I will fix this my self as I can't trust anyone anymore! read more

We picked this company at random trying to get a second opinion to an out of state car dealership's estimate to fix our truck a/c during an extended vacation. State Automotive FIXED our a/c problem for ONE TENTH of the dealership's quote. That told us State Auto's honest dealing. We have since had other work done by State Auto and Radiator confirming this family owned business's fair practices and excellent work. read more

I've been using State Automotive for years. They have never recommended anything for our vehicles that didn't need to be done. Fantastic work and fantastic people here! We will continue to take our vehicles if we ever encounter any problems in the future. read more

Great service. Trustworthy. Yelp logged me in to the wrong account and now I can't delete this. read more

I recently discovered this shop and am very glad I did. They're honest, do great work, and their prices are hard to beat. Definitely worth calling for a quote if you need some work done on your car. I've already sent 4 other friends & coworkers here for everything from oil changes to rear ends to a/c compressors to electrical issues to power steering - it seems like there's nothing these guys can't fix. read more

State Automotive - From my 2001 Tacoma to this 1956 Corvette, the guys at State Automotive can fix it all-and with great service and great prices. - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Midvale, Utah

You know that extraordinary moment when you find an honest and good mechanic? Someone who doesn't give you the run around or talk over your head... I didn't either until I stumbled upon these fine fellows. The shop is clean and so are the employees. I have always been greeted with a smile, treated with respect, and asked to pay less than even I thought fair :). I had a vehicle with a TON of problems, and I was on a budget. I took the car to two mechanics before finding state radiator, both of whom were family "friends" (so I assumed THEY would be honest and helpful), but it wasn't until I came here that I got the answers I needed at a cost that was beyond reasonable. Take it from me this is the best shop in town! Thank you guys for everything! You have a new costumer for LYFE! :) read more

Have been taking my vehicles to State Automotive for several years. ALWAYS friendly!!!!!! Reasonable pricing!!! GOOD work!!! Have never had any complaints or bad work done. Just recently took my vehicle there for a check up for traveling. Appreciate that they are honest and tell me when everything is ok. (Not suggesting I need "this" or "that".....as so many other places might do.) Would "highly" recommend (& have). Thanks Pete.....Dustin and to ALL of you. read more

I was immediately greeted and helped out when walking through the door. This may sound simple, but this is a big deal to me, because I have gone to places and waited 5+ minutes before being helped out and begin to wonder if anyone even cares to get my business. I went in for a safety and emissions test. You have to schedule an appointment, which I was very happy to do because a previous place I tried out did not schedule appointments, and I ended up leaving because the wait was about one hour. The test took about 30 minutes. These guys were so kind, answered my questions without rushing me, and it seemed like they genuinely cared to help people out. The one downside is the waiting area is old and not the nicest I've seen, but they make up for it with their kindness. If you need a safety and emissions test, I recommend this place for an easy in and out and pleasant experience. read more

We've been bringing our cars here for almost 5 years now. (Honda, Toyota, & Volvo). Dustin and everyone else we've worked with have been nothing but helpful and honest. We feel confident in referring our friends and family here. read more

So lucky I found State Automotive! By chance I went in a few years ago for an emission and inspection on my Honda. Immediately liked them....they didn't try to sell me services I didn't need! Since then they have kept my 14 year old Honda running great! I also have a 79 VW Bug. They have a mechanic (Woody) who has the skills to keep this vintage car running great! I totally recommend State Automotive....they are outstanding mechanics and good guys! read more

I downloaded Yelp just so I could give them a review, they were that great! Not only were they super fast, the entire team was also incredibly nice and professional. They helped me out before payday and saved me a really rough week. To top it off, I was actually referred there by another shop! These guys are great, I'm one happy customer :) read more

They told me that my newer vehicle needed a new radiator for about $900 and new brakes for about $600. Told me that my car was going to break down when the temperature got hotter, trying to intimidate me into spending the money. I have a warranty from buying the car about a year ago, so I took it to the dealership. The radiator cap was leaking. Spent $40 and it was fixed. The dealership said that the brakes were fine. Been two months and haven't had any issues. I don't appreciate the scare tactics to get me to spend more money. I bought this new car because it was going to be too expensive to fix my old car based on State Automotive's recommendations. I wonder how many other repairs they did or recommended that were unneeded. ALWAYS get a second opinion. I've been going here for about 2 years. They always got me in quickly and never charged me a fee for it. They were always kind and I thought they were fair. Extremely disappointed that they turned out to be just another mechanic with little to no integrity. read more

Called Dustin at State Automotive and he returned my call promptly. Showed up first thing in the morning and he got us in for a repair service right away so that we could get to the ski slopes in time to enjoy our day. Very straightforward people, reasonable cost, excellent service. I can't recommend them more highly! Five star service for sure read more

I bought a groupon for safety and emissions. I didn't know I needed an appointment but they still got me in-which I completely appreciated since October got away from me and my plates were expired. The place is clean, smoke free, and the gentlemen who helped me were not of the creepy mechanic stereotype. I was in and out in under thirty, I will definitely be back. read more

I stumbled onto these guys because they live close to me but nobody has impressed me more than them for auto services. Always friendly and helpful. They go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied and coming back.... And it works! read more

These guys are great! Excellent service, super friendly, & a very clean awesome shop! They have a great waiting room almost lounge like #garagelounge Granted I only had emissions and inspection done but based on that I wouldn't hesitate one bit to take my vehicles there for anything. Check them out! read more

only used these folks for a safety and emissions test but, the shop, although older, was well organized (a sign of how they do business I think). They answered the questions I did have and got me in at my scheduled time and out in about 20-30 minutes. Will definitely use them again. read more
