I just bought a car here today and had an INCREDIBLE experience! Jason helped me and never once tried to pressure me into a car. Not only was he extremely helpful, he was so great with my kiddo as well, offering him a coloring book and cookies. I will 100% recommend this company to all my friends and family!

Peterson Auto is a great place to go for your next car or trade in! They were very mindful of my budget and helping me get the most ideal payments. Jason explained all the details / financing in a clear professional manner while being kind and honest. I feel like I got an amazing deal but that’s just how they treat everyone. I would recommend them to anyone.

This place advertises “good credit, bad credit, no credit” but in actuality they only want to sell a car that they can make money off of! They smile to your face and act like they are a GREAT DEALERSHIP, when in fact they won’t even try to help you finance a car unless it’s a money maker for them. Instead of being upfront and honest they choose to act like they want your business then tell you it’s too “late” to do your financing” then call you the next day telling you that they can’t get it done— no explanation as to why and acting as if you wasted their time!

I had a good experience finding and testing the vehicle. They allowed time to look all into it and was no pressure or pestering. The staff were all nice and did their work well.
The week after purchase I noticed a grinding in the car after each cold startup. The grinding was the VTC actuator that leads to damage in the engine and timing chain... You don't hear the grind unless it hasn't been turned on for a day or two so I never heard it when I went to look at it/drive it.
I was really bummed since my new low mileage reliable car had an issue, but purchased "as is" I figured there was nothing

This is an exceptional small family business. They were all so kind and made us feel like part of their family. I felt like we were getting special treatment but I know that is just the great service they give every day. A special shout out to Monte and Jeanne. Monte was our kind and genuine salesmen while Jeanne helped us every step of the way and got us the financing we needed to get into our much needed passenger van. My wife and kids love the car. Thanks for your honesty and expertise that helped us make the right decision. Great job Peterson family! All of the employees/family members are

Mike, the owner, is the most honest car salesman/owner, I have ever dealt with. I bought a great car from him years ago, it was a great choice, and he was a lot of help in that decision. This past week I took a car to him to possibly buy. He didn't give me a run around, he was honest in his dealings and just a good all around person. He is true to his work. I would recommend anyone to his place!!!

Good people to work with. I was hesitant to sell my old car because I didn't want to go through a dealership again (horror stories). I found the car I liked and read some reviews and can vouch these guys are honest. They were pleasant to work with and I don't feel like I was taken advantage of. Thanks for making the process less stressful.

I stumbled onto this place because we were looking for a specific vehicle, and these folks had one. The staff was friendly and helpful. We ended up purchasing the vehicle we were looking at. Soon after the purchase the check engine light came on (worst nightmare for a used car!). We got back in touch with Peterson and even though they were not at all obligated to help us, they insisted that they make things right, which they did. The vehicle is great. I'd recommend these guys to anyone and we will be customers in the future. Good dealership and great people.

Normally, I wouldn't have gone to a dealer that I'm not familiar with. I was recommended Monte by a friend. I called and spoke with him first. He was ready to answer my questions and I felt like he really heard me. We went on Friday afternoon, they were busy. We arrived and they already had keys ready for us to take the car I was interested in for a test drive. I really love the car. We were still unsure if we wanted to commit to the payment. Monte and Jeanne told us to go home and sleep on it, they would hold the car. Certainly unexpected in this crazy used car market! They could see

The way this family business operates makes me wish I've never bought a vehicle anywhere else. Very honest and dedicated to holding a valued business. The customer service you experience is rooted from the top with how genuine the family is. There definitely is a reason they've been around for 35 years. Thanks to everyone there for helping me find the truck I was looking for.

The lady here told me the damage my mechanic found wasn’t actually damaged. She wanted over book value and refused to work with me on the price at all. She interrupted me mid sentence and told me 30 seconds before I was going to make an offer that this isn’t the car for me. She even complained that selling it for what kbb says is a fair purchase… price in perfect condition wouldn’t be profitable enough because she would only make $1500 profit on the vehicle. The gentleman I talked to on the phone before coming up seemed much more reasonable. I had a terrible experience

Had an amazing experience with Peterson Auto. Felt like I was talking to friends and family, not a car dealership. They were honest and kind and truly made me feel welcome.
Two weeks after I bought my car, my… radiator fan completely broke and they even helped me with the cost to get it fixed. They seriously go above and beyond for you and I will definitely be coming back for my next car.

Today was the 2nd time picking up a vehicle from the friendly people at this establishment. Very professional, extremely friendly/personable staff(makes you feel at home), and I went there with a budget and they helped me into something that is worth more than I paid and met my price/standard. They are not pushy, they only sell clean titled vehicles at amazing prices, and they make the car buying experience feel effortless. Anytime you are in need of a vehicle it would be very wise to pass all those little shops on state to go to this genuine, friendly, and honest dealer to see for yourself how

After searching for a while on finding a car that fit my needs and still did it’s job, i came to Peterson Auto with my uncle. having worked here for years, he highly recommended them, said they treated customers with care and respect, and made sure everyone left happy and safe with a car of their dreams.
THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT. i’ve already told… two of my friends about their exemplary service and well-rounded team of professionals. they know their stuff, but they make you feel so comfortable you have no problem talking to them with ease.
visit them today if you’re shopping

Very low pressure sales with amazing and friendly salesman. I have to say I was beyond pleased with the way they do business. They really know how to take care of you and make sure you find something that truly meets your needs... even if that means waiting a few days for them to source you a new car not in their inventory. I was very happy with not being pressured into a car I didn't like from their inventory

Who knew?? As you drive down State in Midvale, it's littered with tons of small car dealerships. Several do not give you the best vibe when you look at them. This place is looks better than most, if not all the others. But that's not why I'm writing this "novel". I'm writing about the car buying experience I had there. The other day my niece had an urgent need for a car. We went to Lhm used cars in Murray and quickly left. We drove south through the gauntlet of small dealerships and kept going. I wanted to stop here because I've had other dealings with the Peterson

Such an amazing family owned and operated company! I purchased a used Lexus at the end of December that needed a new timing belt. They were more than willing to replace the timing belt and water pump without having to ask! If you're looking for a car and want to work with honest and hardworking people, this is the place! I will never shop anywhere else when it comes to cars!

Peterson auto is awesome! They're not pushy trying to steer you into a specific (more expensive) car. Not pushy at all we, walked onto the lot and they asked what our price range was, showed us what they have and told us to let them know what we'd want to test drive. Once I made my decision they handled the paperwork and everything topped off the gas tank and had me ready to go very quickly.

Stopped to look at 2008 Audi S5, advertised at $40k. Car has been in a front end accident, poorly fixed, ac doesn't work, possibly more issues. Advertised as clean, no prior accidents. Sales person kept stating that car has never been in an accident. I would make sure you check out the car off-site before you buy, if you don't have personal expertise with cars.
