Life's busy enough... let us make vehicle maintenance one less thing to worry about.

Did you know you don't have to drive out of town to have your import vehicle serviced?

Keeping up with your scheduled maintenance is one of the best ways to protect your investment and help prevent costly repairs down the road.

At Sherman's Import Tek, our goal is simple... to make taking care of your vehicle as convenient as possible while providing the honest, quality service you deserve.

When your vehicle starts running rough, don’t automatically assume the worst…

Sometimes it’s something as simple as a failed ignition coil like the one on top in this picture.

A bad coil can cause a miss, rough idle, loss of power, poor fuel mileage, or a Check Engine Light. The one on the bottom is what a good coil should look like.

The good news is…not every running issue turns into a major repair.

Every vehicle is different. That’s why a proper diagnosis can save you money by replacing only what’s actually needed instead of guessing or throwing parts at the problem.

If your vehicle has started shaking, missing, or just doesn’t feel right, we’d be happy to check it out and let you know exactly what’s going on before any repairs are made.

Sometimes the fix is simpler than you think.

VW Running Rough? It Might Be Time for a Valve Cleaning!

Newer VW engines are known for developing carbon buildup on the intake valves over time. We commonly recommend valve cleaning around 60,000–80,000 miles, and sometimes even sooner depending on driving habits.

If you’ve noticed:

• Rough idle
• Hesitation when accelerating
• Loss of power
• Poor fuel economy
• Check engine light concerns

Dirty intake valves may be the cause.

The photos below show carbon buildup we recently found during a valve inspection on a VW. Excessive buildup can affect engine performance and drivability.

If your VW isn’t running like it used to, give us a call to schedule an appointment. We’ll help determine whether carbon buildup is affecting your vehicle’s performance and recommend any maintenance or repairs needed to keep it running its best.

Some of our longest & fav customers came in today ~ ❤️ We wouldn’t be where we are in life, without our amazing customers who continue to trust us with their vehicles & support our family business ! Thank you!

Another busy day in the shop, and we’re thankful for every customer who trusts us with their vehicles!

Today’s lineup included:

• A Kia Telluride that came in with a running concern. After getting some overdue maintenance handled and checking things over, we were able to get it running much better.

• A Nissan Sentra that received a major front-end suspension rebuild due to worn components. This one left riding smoother and, most importantly, safer for the road ahead.

• A Volkswagen Tiguan from a first-time customer needing diagnostics for a running issue and a full vehicle check-over to see what maintenance and repairs may be needed. We appreciate the opportunity to earn new customers’ trust.

• And a Toyota from a returning customer who recently purchased another vehicle and wanted us to go through it thoroughly with maintenance services including transmission service, oil change, spark plugs, etc.

Every vehicle and every customer situation is different, and we’re always grateful for the opportunity to help keep people safely on the road. Thank you all for continuing to support our family business !

It’s National Small Business Appreciation Week ❤️

Small businesses make up 99.9% of all businesses in the U.S. — which honestly sounds unbelievable until you realize that includes family shops, repair shops, salons, coffee stands, food trucks, contractors, boutiques, online sellers, and so many people simply trying to build something of their own.

Only about 0.1% are the huge corporations everyone thinks about like Walmart, Amazon, Apple, Target, etc.

Another statistic that really stood out to us: around 82% of small businesses are solo or family-run businesses. Behind those businesses are long days, late nights, stress, sacrifice, determination, and people doing everything they can to keep their doors open.

Businesses like ours survive because of loyal customers, word of mouth, recommendations, reviews, patience during busy weeks, and people choosing to support local.

We truly appreciate every single one of you more than you know. ❤️

We also had some stickers made up for Small Business Week 😄 Feel free to grab one next time you stop by!

~ Kerrie & Tommy
