Best Deal is a third-generation family-owned business with locations in Salt Lake City, St. George, Price, Vernal and Payson.
“Joining FleetPride allows us to offer our customers more competitive pricing, increased services and better parts availability,” said Mat Carter, co-owner of Best Deal.

Best Deal was founded by the owners’ grandfather, Vance Carter, and his sons, Lynn and Larry, in 1950 and has expanded to 79 employees, 31 vehicles and 14 bays.
“We are thrilled to welcome Mat and Scott and the entire Best Deal Spring team to FleetPride,” said Mike Harris, FleetPride senior vice president of sales and operations. “The team has a 65-year history of excellence in customer service and we look forward to continuing this legacy throughout Utah and the Western U.S., further strengthening our parts supply distribution and growing service offering.”
