Signs Your AC System Needs Repair
It’s important to be vigilant for certain indicators that your vehicle’s AC system may require repairs. Here are the signs to watch for:
- Weak Airflow: When the air from your AC feels warm or faint, it could point to problems with essential components like the filter, blower motor, or ducts.
- Strange Odors: If you’re noticing odd smells, such as a musty or moldy scent from the vents, it’s likely there’s mold or mildew in the system that needs cleaning.
- Noisy Operation: Hearing squeals or grinding sounds when your AC is on usually means there’s a problem with the compressor or other parts.
- Leaks: Any visible leaks or puddles under your car can be regular condensation, or can also be signs of a leak in the coolant system which runs through the A/C system to give you heat.
- Inconsistent Cooling: If your car can’t keep a steady cool temperature, it’s a sign that your AC system isn’t working right.
If you’re experiencing any of these AC problems, head straight to Sherman’s Auto Repair. We’ll conduct a thorough assessment and provide top-notch repair services to make sure your AC is in perfect working order, keeping you comfortable and safe during your drives.

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.
Always takes care of exactly what is wrong, no bs, and does a quality job every time.
Best in town, great work for alot cheaper then most around. 3rd time getting it done at the last minute. Just incredible. Go!!
Great service!! Fair pricing! Super friendly!! They don’t try and scam you like other places! He’s very honest and efficient! Thank you!
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 great. Very fair and reasonable. My car has over 200K so I need someone reliable and I can trust. Highly recommend.
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!
Always a pleasure to deal with very reliable people does great work ! Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest advice on your car
Very good experience! Serviced my 18 year old car, and it runs like a champ. Smooth on the road, fantastic job! Would recommend to any of my friends & family!
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.
Water pump failure verification and installed within two hours! I was referred to Sherman's by several people, couldn't be happier!
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!!
Very respectful and had me out in a timely manner. Did the job that other shops declined and had me in the same day with a good price.
Would recommend if your in the area.👍

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.
Fantastic service and very fair price. They were able to arrange same day towing and despite a backorder on the part had my truck up and running in within days.
Honest recommendations, prompt service, clean engine, floors and seats after the service! Reasonably priced.
Would certainly return and recommend this service.

Very good service, they did everything they could to help, even though they didn't speak the language.
Go to Sherman's Auto Repair! I love this shop. I love they are prepared and knowledgeable. They have a nice and updated system to administrate their customers data base, sent you estimates and program your appointments via text or email. Fixed my car in hours. And they are so respectfull and nice.
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!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What should I do if my AC is running but not cooling?
First, check if the air filters are clean, as dirty filters can block airflow. Also, examine the outdoor unit for blockages. If these aren’t the issues, it could be a refrigerant leak, which requires professional attention.
Why is there a strange smell coming from my AC?•
Odd smells can signal mold or mildew growth within the system, which needs cleaning. It’s important to address this quickly as it can affect air quality and your health.
What does it mean if my AC is making loud noises?
Squealing or grinding noises can indicate a problem with internal components like the compressor. It’s best to have a technician inspect the system to prevent further damage.
How can I tell if my AC system is leaking?
Puddles or leaks near the unit can be signs of refrigerant leaks. These should be repaired promptly to ensure efficient operation and prevent potential environmental harm.
Why is the airflow from my AC weak?
A dirty cabin filter, issues with the blower motor, or clogged ductwork can cause weak airflow. A technician can diagnose and fix the problem to restore proper air circulation.
