About Us – A Family Tradition of Honest Auto Care in Utah Since 1977
Where Automotive Expertise Meets Utah Values
Steve’s Automotive Specialists has proudly served Utah drivers since 1977, delivering reliable auto repair rooted in family values, honesty, and community trust. What began as a small family-run shop has grown into a multi-location name along the Wasatch Front, with service centers in Salt Lake City, Sandy, Orem, Clearfield, Hyde Park, and Santa Clara.
Across snow-packed winters, steep canyon commutes, summer heat, and Utah’s ever-changing road conditions, our mission has stayed the same:
Treat every customer with respect and provide skilled, dependable automotive care they can count on.
As Utah grew, so did we. From Davis County to Cache Valley and down to Washington County, each new location was opened with one purpose: to provide the same dependable service Utah drivers had relied on since the beginning.
Today, many customers who remember bringing their first cars to us now bring their children’s cars, too. That continuity — generation to generation — is one of the greatest honors we hold as a Utah family business.
Our Story — Built for Utah Drivers, One Honest Repair at a Time
When Steve’s Automotive Specialists first opened in 1977, Utah’s roads looked different — fewer freeways, fewer cars, and far fewer driver-assistance technologies. But one thing hasn’t changed: drivers needed a repair shop they could trust.
Those values resonated with Utah families. From the earliest days serving commuters into Salt Lake City to becoming a go-to shop for vehicles traveling the Wasatch Front, our customer base expanded naturally — through word of mouth, neighbor-to-neighbor recommendations, and long-term relationships.
Our founding family built the business around three simple principles:
- Be honest
- Do quality work
- Treat people right
Our Team — Skilled, Certified, and Rooted in Utah Communities
ASE-Certified Technicians
Every Steve’s location is staffed with highly trained, ASE-certified technicians. Whether you’re driving through Sardine Canyon in Hyde Park, navigating the Point of the Mountain between Salt Lake City and Utah County, or commuting daily along I-15 or I-80, our technicians understand what Utah roads and weather demand from your vehicle.
Service Advisors Who Value Clear Communication
Driving in Utah presents unique challenges — winter road salt, elevation climbs, summer heat, and long daily commutes. Our service advisors take time to explain how these factors affect your vehicle and help you make informed decisions about maintenance and repairs.
