My wife and I have been taking our vehicles to Clay's for over 7 years. Jerry and Linda are awesome. This is an honest shop and they can take care of most things in the same day. Their prices are reasonable and a couple of times they've even taken care of easier things without charging me, which pretty much never happens anywhere else. Highly recommended.

Brought my van in because it was running horrible about to shut off and I was thinking my bill was going to be about $2,000 but it wasn't even close!! Jerry found something else that needed to be repaired so I'll get that done in November. The receptionist was simply a delight He is my forever mechanic now!

We’ve been here twice and we won’t go anywhere else! Both times we figured it was something major, but ended up being really minor and they didn’t try to add any extra services. It’s so refreshing not to be hassled about services you don’t need. They’ve been so honest with us and I can tell they care about people and it’s not all about money. They are also extremely fast! The last place we took our vehicle to was always booked three weeks out. Clay’s has fit us in the same day or next day and they’ve been quick to diagnose the issue. I really like this place!

Clays Auto has been servicing all my vehicles for the past 2-3 years now and we just LOVE Jerry and Linda. They are honest, friendly and will never bs you. They have helped me numerous times when I am in a pinch and are just a salt of the earth type of people. If you are looking for a great shop to work on your vehicles, this is the place to go. I will always go to Clays Auto for any and all of my vehicle needs from oil changes, repairs, brakes and even tires and alignment. They do it all!

A couple weeks ago, my radiator broke while on vacation in St. George. All the repair shops we called were "booked" weeks out and refused to help us except for Clay's. They took us in immediately, diagnosed the issue and then quickly started working to get our warranty coverage figured out. Due to the timing we ended up staying overnight at a hotel. They estimated that they would have it fixed by noon the next day (which was less than 24 hours after we brought it in). I was skeptical that their repair timing estimation would be off and that we would be waiting for multiple days. It was also a tricky situation because I had two small children (in car seats) and no way to get back to the repair shop the next day. Graciously, Linda offered to pick us up, and as promised the car was ready at noon and she was there to get us. I cannot express how professional and compassionate they were to our situation. They made us a priority and treated us so kindly. They helped make a very stressful situation so much easier. The car works great and I could not be happier!

Really kind staff who were so easy to work with. We weren’t from the area so were nervous to try a new auto shop, they were amazing!

I’m so happy I found this shop. I had been told by the dealership that my brake pads needed to be replaced, but after inspection by Clay’s, they are still good for a lot more time. Saved me time and money 👍👍

Very nice & honest people! We came in with a car we were thinking about buying and Clay did a full car inspection and went out of his way to look up more information about the car to make sure it would be a good buy. We are happy about the service we received and will definitely go back in the future!

My truck broke down on my way to California just across the Arizona border. I found Clay's on Waze, called and spoke with Linda who in her sweet way told me to come in. In short they fixed the issue, and would've had it done the same day if the part store would have brought the right part the first time. The cost was very reasonable, lower than I expected. I highly recommend them especially if you get into a jam like I did. Another plus is their beautiful and lovable dog Ossie (spelling) who greets every customer and loves to play. Thanks for getting back on the road and to my pup. Wade

Awesome place, got the serpentine belt replaced on my car and got an oil change. Charged me less than half of what a place across town quoted me and had it done in about 2 hours instead of 2 days like the other place. Also they have a dog that hangs out in the lobby which is so cute. I recommend this place for anyone that is looking to get work done on there car.

Went in for a flat repair and oil change and they were the best priced. I called around and priced shopped. It's a family business. They were really cool people, and made me feel right at home. They have a really nice pitbull that hangs around. Don't be afraid of him, he's a really sweet dog. Definitely recommend given them a shot.

My 2005 Subaru Forester was taken here by the dealership that I bought it from down the street. Shortly after I bought the car, the timing skipped and needed a top end rebuild. I towed the car to my dealer on 11/18/2021, and I believe it was pushed over to Clay’s the next day. Now it is 6/7/2022. My car is still sitting at his shop. Jerry was nothing but rude and condescending the first 3-4 interactions we had, to the point that I just call the dealer to get updates. I’m very patient, and even 4 months to deal with the warranty back and forth, labor, parts to come in, etc. I get that. But now we are coming up on 7 months and I’m running out of excuses for him. There is no reason a top end rebuild should take that long. I get that he is short staffed, etc. but really no excuse for this long of wait. Thank god I have a beater truck I’ve been able to borrow for the majority of this wait. I feel like I’ve been beyond patient with the process. Just wanted to voice my concerns to others.

Went in for a tire rotation.. Probably one of the least friendly places I've been to out here. There was some trashy dude there and an older woman.. A different shop told me about needing a certain part that was not on my vehicle.. This shop called me out on the mistake but offered no other information or help with further repair. Which I would have had them do if they seemed at all interested in helping me fix the issue. The dog there is cool but seems the human customer service is lacking.. But its St George so... par for the course. Plenty of other awesome shops in the area. 3 stars since they were at least able to pull off a tire rotation almost on the spot. EDIT: Google asks for reviews at odd times. You guys didnt seem like you wanted to be there. It was an unfortunate situation. In my line of work I'd be required to mention worn or possibly replaceable parts. Gain a customer, make a bigger sale. welcome the customer back for further service... I asked for a rotation and I mentioned looking into seeing what I needed done on my front end. Which needed pretty obvious attention I'm told by a different shop. No recommendations or anything. I was merely corrected of proper nomenclature and sent on my way. Thanks for the response.

It’s hard to find an honest car repair shop but this place is the best. I’ve been in the car business for 20 years and this is where I recommend everybody go. They’re super nice they take care of the issues they don’t overcharge, so this is where I would go if you need help. If I could give them more than five stars, I would.

Jerry and Linda Clay are great! I offered to pay for a mechanic’s opinion about a used car. Jerry was helpful, informative, friendly, and knowledgeable. Linda was great! I perceived them to be people of high integrity. Class act all around. My mechanic of choice in St George.

I don't know about you but when I get my car worked on I like to know what is wrong with it before I get a quote. That way I know I am not getting an inflated cost or the wrong thing fixed before I hand my business over. I called around to a bunch of shops for a quote on getting my struts, emergency brake cable and CV axle replaced. I took it into him because he gave me the best information over the phone (price too) and he they were SLAMMED! They didn't have time to look at my vehicle. I told him I just needed to know what needed to be fixed so I knew what I could afford. Jerry himself stopped what he was doing, pulled my car in and looked over everything. He took the time to explain what I needed. He was extremely upfront about the costs and I know this because I talked to 5 other shops that day that wouldn't take the time to look at my vehicle but were giving me quotes based on what I said. Other mechanic costs were 33-60% higher without even knowing what they were dealing with. Jerry Clay could have gone off what others were telling me price wise, instead after he looked at it he saved me a bunch of money. Mr. Clay was more than completely fair about parts and labor. Everyone else's labor costs were higher by the hour OR said it took longer to fix (same thing really). I wouldn't expect him to look at my car the way he did every time but I know he cares about his brand/reputation and delivers a better service than anyone else. TAKE YOUR VEHICLES TO CLAY'S AUTO REPAIR & SERVICE! He will do the best he can for your business, if he is able to.

Great people, great service! My wife and I brought our cars here during the time we lived in St. George. They always took care of us and went the extra mile to make sure we were happy. I would highly recommend Clay's Auto for your car repair needs.
