Transmission Fluid Flush

Sherman's Transmission Fluid Flush Services
Your vehicle’s transmission is a critical component responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels, ensuring smooth acceleration and efficient shifting. Over time, transmission fluid can degrade, becoming contaminated with dirt, debris, and metal particles, which can lead to poor performance, increased wear, and potential damage to the transmission components. At Sherman’s Auto Repair, we specialize in transmission fluid flush services to maintain your transmission’s health and longevity.
Signs Your Transmission Fluid Needs Flushing
Be alert to these critical signals that suggest your vehicle’s transmission fluid may require a flush for optimal performance and longevity:
- Slipping Gears: Experiencing delays in gear engagement, unexpected shifts, or gears slipping while driving are strong indicators of low or deteriorating transmission fluid, which is crucial for maintaining the hydraulic pressure necessary for gears to function correctly.
- Rough Shifting: Encountering jerky or harsh transitions between gears could point to insufficient lubrication, often a consequence of aged or contaminated transmission fluid.
- Transmission Overheating: If your transmission frequently reaches high temperatures, it can accelerate the breakdown of transmission fluid, resulting in reduced lubrication, increased friction, and the potential for overheating, which can cause significant damage.
- Fluid Discoloration or Contamination: Regular checks of your transmission fluid for any change in color to a dark brown or black, or the presence of metal shavings, debris, or sludge, are clear signs that a fluid flush and replacement are necessary.
- Unusual Noises: Sounds such as whining, grinding, or humming from the transmission during driving or gear changes can signal a lack of lubrication or harm caused by compromised transmission fluid.
If you notice any of these signs, visit Sherman’s Auto Repair for a comprehensive transmission inspection and expert fluid flush service.

Very good experience! Serviced my 18 year old car, and it runs like a champ. Smooth on the road, fantastic job! Would recommend to any of my friends & family!
Sherman's was great to work with. They were very knowledgeable about my AC system and were able to figure out my issue and get it back cooling again without replacing a bunch of parts that weren't broken. Price was more than fair.
I took my truck to Sherman. He diagnosed the issue very fast. Didn’t try to oversell me on anything. Gave me a few options in which route I wanted to take. he does phenomenal work and is very reliable. I would recommend him to anyone who needs any work done on their vehicle he’s a very honest person and won’t try to sell you on stuff you don’t need
Sherman's auto repair I found to be very skilled in diagnosing and repairing complex vehicle systems as well as providing preventative maintenance service to ensure optimal performance. Sherman's provided me with excellent customer service and cost effective parts and labor. Out of all the places I have been through the years I found them to be the most honest company I have ever been to.
Love taking my vehicles to Sherman. Always professional, he always explains what is wrong and what is needed to be done. Prices can’t be beat, he will not try to gouge you or over charge. He definitely pays attention to detail and gives your vehicle back in a super timely manner. Been going to him for my repairs for 16years….i’ll keep going when I need something done
I've used Sherman's in the past and there is a reason why I keep going back. I called, got a quote, and got my trucked fixed. The quote was a great price. My truck which another mechanic said would take 2 days (and was 3x the amount) to fix was done in 3 hours! I would 100% recommend you use Sherman's auto repair. If you want a honest shop that will do the work correctly and save you money go to Sherman's Auto Repair!
Exceptional service. Debunked previous service center's claim for a major repair that would have cost several thousand dollars. Sherman is fair, honest, and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend him. Don't let the shop's location and first impression deter you. This is how a fair and determined person starts.
Water pump failure verification and installed within two hours! I was referred to Sherman's by several people, couldn't be happier!
Sherman’s replaced my power steering rack and pinion on my Infiniti M37. Power steering pump also was determined to be defective, and it was also replaced. All work was performed expeditiously so that my could be returned to me quickly. Sherman was great to interact with throughout this process. My car’s steering is back to normal. I would definitely return to Sherman’s in the future.
About four years ago, my best recommended that I go to Sherman’s Auto repair because she had been going to him for a few years, and at that time my mechanic was just not doing a good job. Needless to say, I have been going to him ever since. He always does a great job and is very punctual, easy to set up appointments and correspond with. Elmer is great too! I have a truck (the first I’ve ever really driven or owned) and since I’m not the best at pulling in or backing out, he would always help and sometimes did it for me 😊. I would recommend Sherman’s to anyone who wants or NEEDS a reliable and trustworthy Auto Mechanic. Thank you Sherman and Elmer for always doing a great job!! 👍🏽If I could give 10 stars, I would!!
Very respectful and had me out in a timely manner. Did the job that other shops declined and had me in the same day with a good price.Would recommend if your in the area.👍
I had a warning light come on. I called Sherman and he told me to bring it in and he would take a look at it. He cleared the warning and told me to call if it came back on. I called and brought it in the next day. He fixed the same day at a very reasonable price. I’ve been coming to him for 4-5 years and highly recommend his shop. Excellent quality and backs his work.
Fantastic service and very fair price. They were able to arrange same day towing and despite a backorder on the part had my truck up and running in within days.
Honest recommendations, prompt service, clean engine, floors and seats after the service! Reasonably priced.Would certainly return and recommend this service.
Very good service, they did everything they could to help, even though they didn't speak the language.
Go to Sherman's Auto Repair! I love this shop. I love they are prepared and knowledgeable. They have a nice and updated system to administrate their customers data base, sent you estimates and program your appointments via text or email. Fixed my car in hours. And they are so respectfull and nice.
Sherman took care of a few codes my car threw. Even did some routine maintenance - all in a very quick time period. Neat, knowledgeable, and transparent. Doesn’t try to pressure any unnecessary services. Would recommend and use again!
Was able to schedule a brake and rotor change the day before. Dropped off the car around noon the next day, then emailed to add a synthetic oil change, and got my car back by 5. Great service, communication, and price. Landrover would have taken longer and charged more. Highly recommend!
We have been overcharged and had reliability issues with numerous shops in the area since we moved to the area.It is very difficult to find an honest, reliable and communicative auto shop and Sherman’s fits the bill in every area! Not only did he resolve my relatively simple problem quickly, he was extremely up front and honest about another repair I requested. I would not hesitate to recommend them at all!
Sherman was awesome!! Being new in town, we didn’t know who to go for an oil leak. He had great reviews, so we gave him a shot. So glad we did! Nice guy, did a great job and pricing was very fair…especially for these days. We will definitely use him again if we need to!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is changing transmission fluid the same as a flush?
No, they’re different. A fluid change usually replaces about half of the fluid by draining the pan, while a flush replaces all of the fluid and removes more debris.
Are transmission fluid flushes really necessary?
Yes, they are essential for automatic transmissions to prevent damage, maintain lubrication, and ensure safe vehicle operation.
How does a transmission fluid flush benefit my vehicle?
A flush can extend the life of your transmission by replacing old fluid, which helps to lubricate the system and reduce friction.
Can a transmission flush fix existing problems?
A flush is preventive, not a cure for existing issues. If you have transmission problems, a flush won’t fix them.
What if my transmission fluid is dirty or smells burnt?
Dirty or burnt-smelling fluid is a sign that your transmission needs attention. It’s best to get the fluid, filter, and pan gasket changed.
