The Peterson Auto Difference

It's the little things that make us different

Buying a car shouldn't feel like a fight. We've been family-owned since 1965, and we've built our reputation on the small, honest things we do on every sale. That's everything from the full tank of gas we put in every car to the credit-card fees we don't charge. Here's what that looks like.

A full tank of gas with every car

Drive off ready to go. We fill the tank on every vehicle we sell, so you don't have to stop for gas on the way home.

No credit-card processing fees

Put up to $2,500 on a credit card with zero surcharge and no processing fee.

Honest, all-in pricing

Our flat $289 documentation fee is already baked into the price you see. The only thing added at signing is Utah tax, title, and registration.

A free Carfax on every vehicle

Every used car comes with a free Carfax vehicle history report, up front. No upcharge, no asking. We want you to have all the information about our cars before you decide.

Quality used vehicles

We work hard to sell only quality used vehicles. We can set up a pre-purchase inspection, or you're welcome to take any car to your own mechanic. Some still have part of the factory warranty, and we offer optional vehicle service contracts.

No-pressure people who stay

Our salespeople aren't paid on commission, so no one's calculating what to push. We're family-owned since 1965, twice named Utah's Quality Dealer of the Year, and A+ rated with the BBB. The same friendly faces are still here to help you year after year.

Financing and the little things

Forty-plus lenders, and every application is reviewed case by case (approval depends on the lender). We take trade-ins, and our free Used Car Finder sources the exact vehicle you want from our wholesale network at no extra cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you really put a full tank of gas in every car?

Yes. Every vehicle we sell leaves the lot with a full tank. Every car, no exceptions and no need to ask.

Is there a fee to pay with a credit card?

No. You can put up to $2,500 on a credit card with zero processing or surcharge fees.

Is the Carfax report really free?

Yes. Every used car on our lot includes a free Carfax vehicle history report, shown up front so you have the full history before you decide.

What fees will I pay on top of the advertised price?

Only Utah sales tax, title and registration. Our flat $289 documentation fee is already in every advertised price, and we don't add extras such as tires or accessories to a sale.

Are your salespeople paid on commission?

No. Our team isn't paid on commission, so nobody is pushing you toward a vehicle that isn't the right fit for you.
