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.”

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.

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

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

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

Summer road trips put sustained stress on your vehicle.
