Elite Auto Specialists

Elite Auto Specialists is an auto repair shop in Draper, Utah. It specializes in maintenance and repair for European and Japanese vehicles, including Mercedes, Volkswagen, Porsche, Audi, BMW, and Asian imports, and also works on Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Honda, Toyota, and Nissan. The shop holds a rating of 4.70 from customer reviews.

The shop uses synthetic motor oil on all oil changes, which lasts twice as long as traditional motor oil, and dealer-grade diagnostic equipment to inspect each vehicle. It offers a European Preventative Maintenance Program and after-hours drop-off, so customers can leave a vehicle and place the keys in a secure lock box any time, day or night. Only Original Equipment Manufacturer parts are used, and a price is quoted before any work begins, with repairs starting only after the customer gives permission. Under-the-hood diagnostics are shared with customers through photos so they can see what the shop sees and decide on repairs. The team includes mechanics who have worked on European vehicles for years.

Founder Kevin Medina began rebuilding cars at age 13 and rebuilt his own Mustang from the ground up at 15. He worked on neighbors' cars in high school and continued through college before a career repairing medical components. He returned to auto repair and opened Elite Auto Specialists at the beginning of 2015, aiming to provide dealer-quality service with the convenience of a locally owned business in Draper.

The shop sits on S 150 E, about a quarter mile from Hyperion Strong sports center and Browns Pond, and roughly a third of a mile from 300 East and Veterans Memorial Highway. Smith Fields Park and the Draper City Splashpad are both about 0.4 miles away.

Elite Auto Specialists has earned a positive rating from the customers who have reviewed it, reflecting the trust it has built through quality service in Draper.
