I’ve been bringing my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee to Sherry and Snell’s Automotive over the past few weeks as we’ve worked through some challenging mechanical issues, and I cannot say enough good things about their integrity and dedication to their customers.
After multiple shops gave me different diagnoses and costly repair estimates, Sherry and Snell’s took the time to thoroughly investigate the root cause of my vehicle’s problems.
They didn’t just throw parts at it or push unnecessary repairs – they genuinely worked to understand what was actually wrong and communicated with me every step of the way.
What impressed me most was their honesty. When they replaced my starter and the issue persisted, they didn’t charge me for additional diagnostic work or try to upsell me on services I didn’t need. Instead, they were upfront about the severity of the engine problems and gave me realistic options moving forward.
In an industry where it’s easy to feel taken advantage of, Sherry and Snell’s restored my faith in honest mechanics. They go the extra mile to look out for their customers’ best interests, even when it means delivering difficult news. Their transparency, fair pricing, and genuine care for doing right by people sets them apart.
If you’re looking for an automotive shop that treats you with respect and operates with integrity, I highly recommend Sherry and Snell’s Automotive. They’ve earned my trust and my business.”

Bumpy Ride or Excessive Bouncing? Signs of Worn Shocks and Struts
January 8, 2026
Shocks and struts play a critical role in keeping your tires firmly planted on the road. When they wear out, the change is often gradual—until ride quality, braking, and handling noticeably suffer. Many drivers mistake these symptoms for “normal aging,” but worn suspension components can affect safety more than most people realize. What Shocks and
Loose Steering or Clunking Noises? Tie Rod and Ball Joint Problems Explained
January 8, 2026
If your steering feels loose, vague, or makes clunking noises over bumps, worn steering components are often the cause. Tie rods and ball joints play a critical role in keeping your vehicle stable and responsive. When they wear, control and safety can be compromised—sometimes suddenly. What Tie Rods and Ball Joints Do Both components are
What Uneven Tire Wear Says About Your Brakes and Suspension
January 8, 2026
Tires don’t wear unevenly by accident. When tread wear looks abnormal, it’s often a sign that something deeper—like brakes, suspension, or steering—is no longer working as it should. Understanding tire wear patterns can help you catch problems early and avoid replacing tires prematurely. Common Uneven Tire Wear Patterns and What They Mean Edge Wear (Inside
How Worn Suspension and Brakes Increase Stopping Distance
January 8, 2026
Most drivers assume stopping distance is controlled by brakes alone. In reality, braking performance depends just as much on suspension and steering components keeping the tires firmly planted on the road. When any part of this system wears out, stopping distance increases—sometimes dramatically. Why Brakes Don’t Work Alone Brakes create friction, but tires stop the
Seasonal Vehicle Checks: Winterization, Spring Break, and Summer Road Trip Prep
January 8, 2026
Seasonal changes and long-distance travel place unique demands on your vehicle. Cold weather, rising temperatures, and extended highway driving all stress different systems. A seasonal vehicle check helps ensure those systems are ready before small issues turn into breakdowns—especially during high-travel times like winter weather events, spring break, and summer vacations. At Snell Automotive, seasonal
Winterizing Your Vehicle: What Memphis Drivers Should Check Before Cold Weather
January 8, 2026
While Memphis winters are generally mild, sudden cold snaps can still catch drivers off guard. Even brief drops in temperature can expose weak batteries, low tire pressure, and cooling system issues—often leading to no-start situations or unsafe driving conditions. Winterizing your vehicle helps ensure it’s ready when temperatures fall. At Snell Automotive, winter vehicle checks
Spring Break Car Prep: What to Check Before a Road Trip
January 8, 2026
Spring break travel often means long highway drives after months of short, stop-and-go winter driving. That sudden change can expose weak batteries, worn tires, cooling system issues, and brake wear that didn’t show up during daily commutes. A pre-trip check helps catch those problems before you’re hours away from home. At Snell Automotive, spring break
Getting Your Car Ready for Summer Road Trips
January 8, 2026
Summer road trips put sustained stress on your vehicle. High temperatures, long highway miles, heavier loads, and stop-and-go traffic can quickly expose weaknesses that don’t show up during daily driving. Preparing your car before summer travel helps reduce the risk of overheating, tire failures, and roadside breakdowns. At Snell Automotive, summer trip checks focus on
Why Cooling System Checks Matter Before Long Trips
January 8, 2026
Overheating is one of the most common causes of roadside breakdowns—especially during long-distance travel. A vehicle may seem fine during daily driving, but extended highway speeds, heavier loads, and warmer temperatures can quickly expose cooling system weaknesses. A pre-trip cooling system check helps prevent those failures before you’re miles from home. At Snell Automotive, cooling
Tire Safety Checks Before Long Drives and Seasonal Travel
January 8, 2026
Tires play a critical role in safety, comfort, and fuel efficiency—especially during long drives and seasonal travel. While tires may appear fine during daily commuting, extended highway speeds, heavier loads, and temperature changes can quickly expose hidden problems. A pre-trip tire safety check helps reduce the risk of blowouts, poor handling, and uneven wear during
