S & J Automotive & Diesel

I own a 2001 Ford F-250 with 7.3 liter diesel and it has 470,000 miles on it. I purchased this vehicle with 55,000 miles back in 2003. This has been a great truck and it's has always difficult to find a honest and quality diesel mechanic in a town that I move to. I moved to SLC three years ago and I am glad that I found S&J Automotive and Diesel! I worked with Connor at first, but I did not have the best feeling dealing with him. I had some minor issues that came to my attention back in March and I reached out to Scott the owner and he told me to bring my truck in on Monday of this week. He looked over the work that was performed and verified that the oil leak was residual oil in the valley of the motor and it was draining from the valley down the side of the motor, which I thought was a leak. He checked out the valve cover bolts and made sure these bolts were torqued to the specified setting. I picked up my truck this morning and couldn't be happier with the work. I have been self employed for 29 years and it is a great feeling to know there are still honest owner's that want to make their customer's happy, treated fairly and are honest! That's the way I do business and I highly recommend S&J Automotive and Diesel for your diesel vehicles!!! Thanks Scott!!!!

Conor and Scott are the best. We are repeat customers and have had multiple pre-purchase inspections done here for our diesel trucks and everything they told us with the inspection has proved to be 100% accurate. They are good, honest guys and do a super thorough job. We are about to bring another vehicle to them this week. Couldn’t recommend them more.

Outstanding, Honest and Dependable service! I've been bringing my vehicles here for the past 13 years. Scott, the owner has made this local business a shop that you can get your vehicle concerns address and for a price thats fair and wotk thats guaranteed. Although COVID has effected so many businesses S & J Automotive and Diesel has worked so hatrd to keep its doors open and to keep their new and long time customers coming back for the service that can not be beat. Thanks for being a great local Utah business. 👍🏽

Scott took care of me and got everything done in a timely matter! He was great to work with!

Scott has taken care of my auto needs for many years. He has always been honest and he has always done a great job with any problem that my vehicle has had. He is a great mechanic!

I have a 1997 7.3 and I knew it was in need of some work to keep it going. It is our vacation mobile and I needed to make sure the truck was solid so I could confidently pull my new trailer long distances. I also needed some welding on the bed edges from a sleeper on the back over the years. Scott and Conner went through the entire truck and identified upgrades and replacements to be done. Scott provided his recommendations and was spot on with what was needed! The turbo, brakes, and many more repairs were done. I picked it up yesterday and it drove like a new truck! The welding work was top notch and he even noticed some rust and took care of that. I love that the shop is small and Scott gets 'hands on' with the work. He's always quick to respond when I had questions and very professional with his quoting and upgrades. The personalized service is what takes this shop over the top! When I picked up the truck, I got a personalized walk through of all the work done and was able to ask questions and understand the work and how it improved my truck. I will go back to S&J for all my repair needs! Thanks Scott and team!

We have 6 older cars, thus, we have need of a mechanic quite often. I’m so glad to have found S&J auto. They have treated me like family since the first visit. I can’t say enough good about them. At one visit I asked what else I could have done on one of the vehicles and Scott said something like I’m not going to fix something if it isn’t broken. They are so honest and fair priced. On my last visit they changed out a dead running light on the car I came to pick up the car in for repairs for no charge. I highly recommend them!

Scott & his team are trustworthy dependable and their work is second to none. You can spend a lifetime looking for an honest and skilled mechanic. That is what I have found with Scott at S&J Diesel. Fair pricing, dependable work and reliable honest diagnostics are hard to come by now days, but that is exactly what I expect and receive from Scott and the S&J team. Thanks Scott.

I cannot say enough good things about this company. Scott and his team were so professional, kind, and understanding. Being a woman going into a place that is not my favorite based on past experiences was something I was not looking forward to. However, coming here, I was not taken advantage of and he was completely open and honest about everything.
I was going to buy a truck from a dealer down the street and took it to him for a quick look over/run down to make sure it was in good shape and didn't have any major issues. THANK GOODNESS I DID!!! There were so many issues and things that needed to be done that we didn't know.
Thanks to Scott he saved us from buying a lemon Diesel truck and has gained a customer for life! We will be taking all the trucks we are looking to buy to him as well as my extended family.
Honest, fair priced, and knows his stuff!! Thank you Scott!!!

I recently took my restored 1970 Ford Bronco to S & J Automotive for issues I was having with my gas tank and front end. I was recommended to Scott of S & J Automotive for his expertise with classic cars. He looked at my vehicle and assessed the problems very quickly which gave me confidence in his ability to resolve the issues. The vehicle is running great now and I have the utmost confidence in taking my Bronco or other vehicles I have for future assessments and repairs. Thanks for the great work Scott and S & J Automotive!

I'm new to town, and needed to find a mechanic to take care of some cooling system issues on my truck. I got referred to Scott at S&J Auto. I'm glad I did! Turnaround time was quick, Scott (and others) were responsive and customer-oriented. And most importantly, the issue is resolved.

I think I have found my mechanic!

Over the past several years, I have bounced around from mechanic to mechanic based upon referrals from family & friends with all kinds of various results. Finally landing with S&J the last couple of years has been the best decision I have made to service & repair my diesel pickup. They have been upfront, honest, timely and fairly priced. So refreshing. Thank you Scott & team.

My family has been coming here for close to a decade for all of our repair needs. From a clutch replacement and transmission fix in my daily driver, to timing belts, chasing a check engine light, etc. Every single time has been an excellent visit, and the issue was fixed. Scott knows what he's doing, and even educated me on what had happened and how he fixed it. Love this shop!

I was having issues with my Infiniti FX35 not starting. I called and they were able to squeeze me in the same day. Scott took the time to really diagnose the hidden problem and gave me a plan of action. The entire staff was very friendly and they were very fair with their prices. I loved this shop!

I met Scott 11 years ago when I first moved here - on my way to work and my check engine light came on. I didn't know a single person, and saw Scott's Shop on my way to work. I pulled in, and Scott has been taken care of my truck ever since. My truck has 240k miles on it and Scott keeps it working like brand new! He's amazing and fair...

My car needed some serious help.. it constantly breaks down and I hadn't found any mechanics I liked so far. I tried S & J out and loved it! They were very friendly, and knew what they were doing. They always returned my calls, kept me informed, and did an excellent job!

Got my 2004 Subaru WRX wagon's timing belt done here and I am more than happy with the work they did. The guys here at S&J Auto were awesome, honest and great at what they do. My dad always takes his camry here to get an oil change and the occasional tune up and loves the great customer service they provide each and every time. Me and my family have relied on S & J for years now and will continue coming here for years to come.

Got a buddy who works here. When I got my truck maintenance done here, my truck has since sounded happy and healthy. Also I've noticed that I am getting a higher mpg than previously. Highly recommend going here, especially for diesels!

S&J Automotive is the best. I've had them work on my car a couple of times. They're very quick finding the problem and fixing it. Prices are very reasonable. I wouldn't take my car any where else. Thanks
