    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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)

    What should I do if my check engine light doesn't turn on when I start my car?

    If the check engine light doesn’t light up when you start your car, there might be something wrong with the light or a bigger problem with your car’s electrical system. It’s really important to get this checked and fixed by a good mechanic to make sure your car’s checking system is working right.

    If the check engine light comes on but the car seems fine, keep driving to where you need to go. But get a mechanic to check it soon to avoid bigger problems. If the light is blinking or the car feels weird, pull over safely and call for a tow truck to take it to the shop right away.

    You might find tools that read car codes, but they don’t tell you everything. It’s better to have a pro with the right tools and know-how look at it. Trying to fix it yourself might not work and could even cause more trouble for your car.

    It depends on what’s wrong. Some fixes are quick, like within an hour. But if it’s a big problem, it could take a few hours to figure out and fix. The mechanics at Sherman’s Auto Repair will let you know how long it should take for your car.

     If the light comes back on after we fix it, bring your car back to us. We’ll check it again and fix any new problems without extra charge, as long as it’s covered by our warranty. We want you to be happy with our work.
