My brother in law recommended a used vehicle for sale at Automotive Solutions. My husband and I came, checked it out and purchased the car. We were immediately impressed with Brian, the salesperson we met with. He was down to earth, honest and gave us an amazing deal! The next day I was driving it and noticed a moaning sound that got louder when I accelerated. I called Paul and he told me to bring the car back. After checking it out thoroughly, Paul discovered that in order to take care of the sound, the car needed a new transmission. Paul and Brian worked relentlessly to try and get me into a warranty that would cover a new transmission. Unfortunately, no one was willing. Paul apologized and gave me a full refund on my purchase of the vehicle without hesitation. He definitely didn't have to do that! I think any other dealership would've said, "Sorry but once you purchased and drive out of our dealership you're on your own if there are any issues." That's not how Paul and Brian operate. They are two of the most honest and understanding guys I've ever worked with! Paul ended up getting me into an even better vehicle for an excellent price. I am beyond impressed with their integrity, knowledge and genuine customer service. If you want to purchase a reliable used car at a great price, I highly recommend these guys. In addition to their selection of cars, Paul is an outstanding mechanic. He's the Saturn expert for the state of Utah with over 18 years of experience. I can't say enough good about Paul and Brian and Automotive Solutions. So glad I found them!!

I bought a little Yaris from them for my son. The car drives great for a good price. They were easy to work with and no pressure.

I bought my car from Paul about a month ago!! It is my new favorite thing I’ve ever owned. Paul was so awesome and told us everything we needed to know about the car, was very honest about it’s history and let us test drive it and sit in it for as long as we wanted. This was my first car buying experience and let me tell you, Paul couldn’t have made it any easier! I fell in love with the car and Paul let us take as long as we wanted to decide if we were driving it away or not. I am so happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend taking a look at Automotive Solutions’ inventory, it will be worth your time!!

Friendly guy, but I bought a truck from him and it was not a good experience. Saw the listing on Facebook marketplace and got a hold of him. I asked if there were any issues and he said he just drove it 650 miles and there weren't any issues other than another customer that looked at it mentioned that the box was "beat up a little on the bottom" but he "wasn't going to crawl under and look because the guy was just using it to get him down on price" I decided to drive the 450 miles one way to pick it up and was disappointed to say the least. When I got there it took 3 minutes of cranking to start. One of the brake lights didn't work, the parking brake didnt work, it had several broken marker lights and reflectors, the cab lights didn't work, the exhaust tip was smashed and had a hole cut in it, it had a bad exhaust leak, a small differential oil leak, a hole in the floor around the shifter letting noise and hot air in, the tint on the windows was so scratched you could hardly see out of them, and the box that he could be bothered to look at was completely smashed in and had a hole in it. He acted surprised that it had these issues and called his mechanic who came and fixed the brake and cab lights and some of the reflectors and marker lights. I realize I shouldn't have bought it but I was in a pickle and decided to just deal with it. After a few hours work, it was good enough to drive home. On the way home, it developed an engine oil leak and leaked 3 gallons of engine oil on the ground and also found out the high beams don't work. Like I said the guy seems nice enough, so at best, he is completely clueless about what he makes a living selling and at worst is dishonest and taking advantage of people. If it seems like a decent deal, have a mechanic look over the vehicle before you even bother to look at it. In reply to the owner: I did try to leave a review for the guy on Facebook, but he deleted the ad and I was not able to. According to the man I bought it from, your company did sell the vehicle. I purchased the vehicle through the dealership "Automotive Solutions" and I signed the papers at the dealership and I'd be happy to provide proof that I bought it through your dealership.

Came in to get info on my check engine light. I mentioned having a time constraint to get the repair done as I was traveling needed to leave the state the next morning. Paul was very honest with me about part pricing and the nature of the repair - it would be cheaper for me at home and didn’t need to be done immediately. Ultimately I didn’t get any service done here for those reasons, but I wanted to recommend this business due to Paul’s honesty and transparency — a shady business could have easily taken advantage of me due to my lack of knowledge and the pressure of my time constraint. Kudos to Paul!!

These guys were an absolute pleasure to work with. The environment was laid-back and low pressure. The car i bought was very clean, mechanically and aesthetically, at a super affordable price. My mechanic pointed out the transmission hoses needed replacing and they did the work free of cost before I bought the car. After a few horror stories with big dealerships, I absolutely look forward to working with these guys in the future.

Most definitely the best place to get your car repaired. Plus Paul sells car at prices you can't find any place. Very transparent,plus Paul really cares about your automotive needs, and he doesn't lie or try and rip you off.

Bought my Honda Element here. I love my Element, as it had the options I was seeking (manual and AWD). I also managed to get home after purchasing it. These are the reasons they get 2 stars, which really does not represent anything they actually provided. For context, I spoke to the owner multiple times over the course of a few weeks regarding flying from Texas to buy it, with the intention of driving it home. Upon arrival one of the mechanics asked me what I was there for, and gave me a look out of a horror film. A short drive later, it was mine as physically outside of having charcoal juice for steering fluid, it looked good (owner said all fluids had been changed). 45 mins into my ride home I get a CEL, showing that shoddy work had been done and honesty not so much. I then lost all power in the mountains and could barely hit 15-20 uphill. I make it to NM and cannot get out of a valley. Finally I find a shop that can patch it along to get home. I contact the owner, which gives me the as is where is speech acting like it is not his fault, until I fully explain what has happened. Then I get an aftermarket catalytic converter mailed to me as a condolence. Truthfully, the cat and O2 sensors were bad, but at the time, that was all I was aware of. 3 weeks later the clutch gives out. Repairs continue. The motor gives out. I have replaced almost everything but glass and metal/plastic body panels on the car, and finally it's solid. Buy a car there, if you have to, but every step of the process was a joke. No dealer plates, I was told by someone obviously high on coke that that was also my problem. They were washing and detailing cars that no one was there to pick up. My car was given to me completely filthy. Had the car been even a C+, for the price I paid, it would be ok, but after $12k invested, I have a hard time finding nice words regarding this transaction. Especially with their despotic tone knowing I had broken down, hours later and barely half way home.

Brian and Paul were easy to work with and very accommodating and really went above and beyond to take care of us. It also gave us great piece of mind knowing that we were buying from an automotive repair shop that fixes the cars themselves and then sells them. I was shocked and amazed at the fact they have a 4.6 star rating when they are selling lower priced used cars, you will not find that anywhere, trust me we've looked. We will definitely check here first in the future.

I bought a salvage title car from them last summer, recently my window mechanism broke. These guys got me in same day, figured out what was wrong, explained it to me, fixed the problem in a timely manner, and it was cheaper than I expected. I definitely recommend this place if you need service or a reliable car.

I need to add to my previous review! My car that they helped me get years ago was totaled. In kind of a panic for the best bang for my buck, I went here. Thank goodness I did! I had gone onto the website before going there to have an idea of what I might get since I only had a rental car for less than a week. When I came by, Paul was so awesome about making note of important features I wanted. Found 3 cars for me to test out and wow. I chose a car I didn't even notice or think to look into on the website! (Subaru Forester 2010) And he answered so many questions of practicality for each car, depending on my needs and what I wanted. I now have had this car for months and have loved it! It's been running great. He isn't a pushy cars salesmen. They are all genuine people who want to help get people from point A to B in an affordable way. They care for and serve you! What more could you ask for! ----- My favorite place to go to get my car addressed. He is honest and will never push me to spend money. He focuses on my needs and gives me the best deals while doing the work in a timely manner! He is so honest that if he knows he doesnt have what you need, he will recommend great places to go to next

We bought a Honda Element for my son here. Its a rebuilt title and that worried me a bit but the car has been great and my son loves it. We will probably pick up another Element for my daughter sometime soon from these guys.

Honestly the best spot you can go to buy an Element. They had at least 10 on lot when I went last Saturday. We were looking for a car for my sister in law and found this place. We were able to score a 100k miles AWD Element with a clean title for $10k. They had MANY options way cheaper holding a branded title that looked great, we just saw the value in buying a clean one. This thing is super clean! Maintenance was done and fluids passed my inspection (I work for a Euro auto shop). The guy was super pleasant to work with, over the phone he might sound straight forward but in person he’s a very kind guy and reasonable to work with. The Element we found had aftermarket wheels I’ve had issues in the past with I asked him to swap them out with OEM wheels and he was happy to do it. Super happy with our purchase and he didn’t push me or my family at all. Great experience. Definitely going to come back if he starts selling 4Runners LOL!
