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.”

Electrical System Problems in Modern Vehicles: Warning Signs, Causes, and Diagnostics
January 9, 2026
Modern vehicles rely on complex electrical systems to control everything from engine performance and braking to climate control and safety features. When an electrical issue develops, the symptoms can be confusing—random warning lights, intermittent failures, or systems that work one day and not the next. Understanding how these systems fail and why proper diagnostics matter
Dashboard Warning Lights Explained: ABS, Traction Control, and More
January 9, 2026
Modern vehicles use dashboard warning lights to alert drivers when a system detects abnormal data. While some lights signal urgent issues, others indicate that a safety or stability feature may be temporarily disabled. Understanding what these lights usually mean helps you decide when to keep driving and when to schedule an inspection. At Snell Automotive,
Intermittent Electrical Problems: Why They’re Hard to Diagnose
January 9, 2026
Few vehicle problems are more frustrating than electrical issues that appear randomly and then disappear. One day everything works fine, and the next day a warning light, no-start condition, or system failure shows up without warning. These intermittent electrical problems are among the most challenging issues to diagnose—but understanding why helps explain the need for
Why Your Car Battery Keeps Dying: Parasitic Drain Explained
January 9, 2026
A car battery that repeatedly dies—even after being replaced—usually points to an underlying electrical issue. One of the most common causes is parasitic drain, a condition where electrical components continue to draw power after the vehicle is turned off. Understanding how parasitic drain works helps explain why jump-starts and new batteries often don’t fix the
Battery, Alternator, or Starter? How to Tell What’s Actually Failing
January 9, 2026
When a vehicle won’t start or keeps losing power, it’s easy to assume the battery is the problem. In reality, starting and charging issues often involve the battery, alternator, or starter—and the symptoms can overlap. Understanding the differences can help you avoid unnecessary part replacement and get the right repair sooner. At Snell Automotive, starting
Faulty Sensors and Control Modules: Why Modern Cars Need Diagnostics
January 9, 2026
Modern vehicles depend on a network of sensors and control modules to manage engine performance, braking, safety systems, and comfort features. When one sensor or module sends incorrect data—or stops communicating altogether—it can trigger warning lights, drivability issues, or system shutdowns that seem unrelated at first glance. Understanding how these components work explains why proper
Why Your AC, Heat, or Climate Controls Stop Working Properly
January 9, 2026
When your AC stops blowing cold, the heat won’t warm up, or climate controls respond inconsistently, the problem isn’t always refrigerant or mechanical failure. In modern vehicles, climate systems rely heavily on electrical components, sensors, and control modules. When one part of that network fails, comfort—and sometimes visibility—can suffer. At Snell Automotive, climate control diagnostics
Electrical Diagnostics: Independent Shop vs Dealership
January 9, 2026
When electrical problems appear—warning lights, intermittent failures, or system malfunctions—many drivers assume the dealership is the only place equipped to diagnose modern vehicles. While dealerships are one option, independent repair shops often provide the same diagnostic capabilities with more flexibility and clearer communication. Understanding the differences helps you choose the right service for your situation.
