It's challenging to find a shop to work on a true classic. I did some research, talked to the owner and felt comfortable taking my '63 Chevy to Sherman's Auto Repair. They did exactly what I asked. There was no "job-creep". Kept the car clean and secure during the repair process. Delivered as promised. Problem corrected at a fair price.

The best of the best mechanics.
They are so fair.
So honest.
Gave us a pretty great deal on our repair. And really took their time helping us understand what happened with the car. Sherman is just the best hands down and ive lived in srq 28 years and have used alot of mechanics for all my old cars i buy and wow. So glad i went there because it was major fix and i know i would have been quoted way more anywhere else. Ty sherman!!

Sherman was taking care of my car when he was a one man show and that’s a reason I chose him. i will always choose the small business owner. i moved out of state for 2 years, just came back to Sarasota and got a couple of things stuck in my run flat tire! I called Sherman but it was the weekend so i went to Tire Kingdom, Brians and BJ's and they all told me it couldn’t be repaired and told me a new tire was $450. I kept putting air in and waited for Monday! Sherman called and i told him the situation and he says” I can repair it, they can to but want to sell a tire!”. Plugged it up in 10 minutes and saved me over $450! Thanks for being my go to guy Sherman and never disappointing!

They replaced the tierods and did a front end alignment, did a outstanding job. They were quick and did quality work. Great customer service and price was awesome. Firest one quoted me a price that was over double of what Sherman's did it for. He doesn't look for things to try and get more work. I will be using him again. Strongly recommending them!

Sherman's was great to work with. They were very knowledgeable about my AC system and were able to figure out my issue and get it back cooling again without replacing a bunch of parts that weren't broken. Price was more than fair.

I took my truck to Sherman. He diagnosed the issue very fast. Didn’t try to oversell me on anything. Gave me a few options in which route I wanted to take. he does phenomenal work and is very reliable. I would recommend him to anyone who needs any work done on their vehicle he’s a very honest person and won’t try to sell you on stuff you don’t need

Sherman's auto repair I found to be very skilled in diagnosing and repairing complex vehicle systems as well as providing preventative maintenance service to ensure optimal performance. Sherman's provided me with excellent customer service and cost effective parts and labor. Out of all the places I have been through the years I found them to be the most honest company I have ever been to.

Love taking my vehicles to Sherman. Always professional, he always explains what is wrong and what is needed to be done. Prices can’t be beat, he will not try to gouge you or over charge. He definitely pays attention to detail and gives your vehicle back in a super timely manner. Been going to him for my repairs for 16years….i’ll keep going when I need something done

I've used Sherman's in the past and there is a reason why I keep going back. I called, got a quote, and got my trucked fixed. The quote was a great price. My truck which another mechanic said would take 2 days (and was 3x the amount) to fix was done in 3 hours! I would 100% recommend you use Sherman's auto repair. If you want a honest shop that will do the work correctly and save you money go to Sherman's Auto Repair!

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.

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!!

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.

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!

General FAQs
How often should I get my oil changed?
Oil change intervals vary based on vehicle age, oil type, and driving conditions. Older vehicles typically need oil changes every 3,000 miles or 3 to 6 months. Modern vehicles with advanced engines and synthetic oils may extend this period to 5,000 to 7,500 miles, and some manufacturers recommend 10,000 to 15,000 miles or biannual changes for new models. Severe driving conditions may necessitate more frequent changes. Consult your owner's manual and monitor your car's oil-life system for the most accurate schedule.
Can I perform vehicle maintenance myself?
Some maintenance tasks can be performed at home, such as oil changes, air filter replacements, and basic inspections. However, more complex services should be carried out by a professional mechanic to ensure safety and proper handling of vehicle components.
How often should I service my vehicle?
For most vehicles, it's recommended to service your vehicle every 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first, especially if you're using conventional oil. However, many modern vehicles with synthetic oil can go 7,500 to 10,000 miles between services. Always check your vehicle's owner's manual for the most accurate service intervals, as these can vary based on the vehicle's make, model, and specific engine requirements. Regular servicing is essential to maintain optimal performance and longevity of your vehicle.
What should I check regularly to ensure my vehicle is in good condition?
Regular checks should include tire pressure and tread depth, oil and coolant levels, brake fluid, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and battery health. It's also important to inspect the condition of the windshield wipers, lights, and brakes.
