Jensen Auto Service has been Ogden’s trusted auto repair shop for over 50 years. It all started in 1972, when Marv Jensen, a skilled mechanic, built a reputation for quality repairs with nothing but a concrete pad, a boxcar, and determination. His honest service attracted loyal customers, leading to a new shop in 1980.
His son, Paul Jensen, grew up learning the trade, from cleaning floors to rebuilding alternators. Taking over in 2010, Paul expanded the business with a machine shop and warehouse, allowing us to offer even more comprehensive services.
Today, we continue our legacy of excellence, providing everything from routine maintenance to complex repairs. Whether it’s brakes, transmissions, or diagnostics, our skilled team is here to keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely.
Comprehensive Auto Services: Keeping Your Car Road-Ready
At Jensen Auto Service, we offer a full range of services designed to maximize your vehicle’s performance and longevity. From routine maintenance to advanced repairs, our team is here to help.
Routine Maintenance: The Foundation of a Healthy Vehicle
Regular maintenance is the key to preventing major issues and extending your vehicle’s lifespan. Our expert team ensures that every car receives the attention it deserves with essential services, including:
Oil Changes & Engine Care
Regular oil changes keep your engine clean and efficient, preventing wear and improving fuel economy. Skipping this crucial service can lead to overheating, sludge buildup, and costly repairs, which may result in complete engine failure if left unaddressed.
Battery Checks & Replacements
A failing battery can leave you stranded. If you’ve noticed slow engine cranking or dim lights, it may be time for a replacement, as weak batteries struggle to power essential electrical components, including ignition and onboard systems.
Brake Maintenance & Inspections
Your brakes are your first line of defense on the road. If you hear squealing, grinding, or experience longer stopping distances, your brakes need immediate attention, since worn-out brake pads and failing rotors can significantly increase stopping time, putting you and others at risk.
Tire Inspections & Replacements
Worn-out tires affect handling and safety. We check tread depth, alignment, and pressure to keep you rolling smoothly, as poor tire condition increases the likelihood of hydroplaning, blowouts, or reduced traction on slippery roads.
Transmission Fluid & Flush Services
Over time, transmission fluid breaks down, leading to gear slipping and overheating. Routine flushes ensure your transmission runs efficiently, preventing premature wear on gears, torque converters, and internal seals that could lead to expensive transmission repairs.
Advanced Repairs: Diagnosing & Fixing Car Issues with Precision
At Jensen Auto Service, we don’t just fix cars—we find solutions. Whether it’s a check engine light, a transmission issue, or an electrical problem, we use cutting-edge diagnostic tools to get to the root of the issue.
Check Engine Light Diagnostics
When your check engine light comes on, don’t ignore it. It could be something minor, like a loose gas cap, or something serious, like a failing catalytic converter. Prompt diagnostics can prevent small issues from turning into expensive repairs.
Car Engine Troubleshooting
Strange noises, rough idling, or power loss? We diagnose engine problems and provide reliable solutions to keep your car performing at its best. Addressing engine issues early can help improve fuel efficiency and overall vehicle longevity.
Transmission Flush & Repair
Rough shifting or gear slipping? It may be time for a transmission flush or repair. We keep your transmission running smoothly with expert service. Neglecting transmission maintenance can lead to overheating, internal damage, and costly replacements.
Suspension & Alignment Services
A smooth ride starts with a properly aligned suspension. If your car pulls to one side or you feel excessive vibrations, our suspension services will restore stability. Proper alignment enhances tire lifespan, improves handling, and ensures a safer driving experience.
Exhaust System Repair
If your car is louder than usual or emitting more smoke, it might be time for an exhaust system inspection. A well-maintained exhaust system reduces emissions, improves engine performance, and prevents harmful fumes from entering the cabin.
Specialized Auto Services for Every Season
Ogden drivers face extreme weather conditions, from scorching summers to icy winters. At Jensen Auto Service, we offer seasonal maintenance to keep your car reliable year-round.
- Winter Car Preparation – We check antifreeze levels, battery health, tires, and wipers to ensure your vehicle can handle Utah’s cold temperatures.
- AC System Maintenance – A weak AC in summer can make driving unbearable. Freon refills, leak repairs, and airflow checks keep you cool on the road.
A Customer-First Approach to Auto Repair
At Jensen Auto Service, we don’t just repair cars—we build relationships. Our goal is to provide honest, high-quality service while treating every customer like family.
A Commitment to Transparency & Trust
From the beginning, Marv Jensen believed in clear communication, honest pricing, and quality workmanship. That tradition continues today.
When you bring your vehicle in, we will:
- Explain the issue in simple terms—no confusing jargon.
- Provide upfront pricing—so you know what to expect.
