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.”

Should You Ignore a Warning Light Before a Road Trip?
