Sherman's Transmission Repair Services
Your vehicle’s transmission is a complex and critical component that ensures smooth shifting and efficient power delivery to the wheels. Over time, transmission problems can arise due to wear and tear, fluid contamination, or mechanical failures, leading to issues such as slipping gears, rough shifting, or complete transmission failure. At Sherman’s Auto Repair, we specialize in transmission repair services to diagnose and resolve any transmission issues, keeping your vehicle running smoothly and reliably.
Signs Your Transmission Needs Repair
Stay vigilant for these unmistakable signs that your vehicle’s transmission may be in need of immediate repair to ensure continued performance and safety:
- Slipping Gears: When your vehicle hesitates to stay in gear or experiences erratic shifts, it’s often a red flag for worn clutch plates, malfunctioning solenoids, or hydraulic issues within the intricate workings of the transmission.
- Delayed Engagement: If you notice a pause before your vehicle engages into drive or reverse, this could be a symptom of low transmission fluid, a compromised torque converter, or more serious internal transmission wear and tear.
- Fluid Leaks: Keep an eye out for any signs of transmission fluid leaks, such as puddles or spots beneath your vehicle. These can be telltale signs of worn seals, gasket failures, or damage to the transmission pan, all of which necessitate prompt attention to avert further fluid loss and potential transmission harm.
- Strange Noises: Any unusual sounds like whining, grinding, or clunking from the transmission during operation or gear changes could signal internal mechanical wear, bearing degradation, or defective solenoids, all warranting a thorough inspection and repair.
- Dashboard Warning Lights: Pay attention to your vehicle’s dashboard; if the Check Engine Light or Transmission Warning Light illuminates, it’s indicative of transmission issues that the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics have detected, necessitating a professional evaluation and repair.

SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT SHERMAN'S
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!
