Sometime last month I took my truck in for an Engine and Transmission replacement after the last mechanic I used was a piece of work, and the guys in the shop were very speedy and efficient in their work. My truck runs with no issue and a cherry on top for me is that they did my A/C! Ms. Mary in the front desk was very kind and professional in every call I made! 10/10 would use them again

This shop is a hidden gem for custom work. I was turned away from a number of big name automotive shops for stuff like transfer case adapter repair and electrical work for all my signal lights etc that was deemed a "skill" that apparently mechanics with certifications are incapable of doing now a days for a chevy truck made in 1981. I will continue to have these folks help me on my journey to make my truck the absolute best it can be. Highly recommend 👌.

I went to answer an ad for experienced paint and body guy that specializes in restoration. He's only offering $20/hr. I am getting $25/hrs. currently at another shop. The car I was working on has paint cracking on cowl panel, bubble in paint on door, over spray on red stripes. And he won't offer me more until I show him what I can do. Ha. I am under the impression that he doesn't really know restoring classic cars. He doesn't know how to put together the windows on a Camaro door.. don't know how he does it. Have a great day. His response is Trumpian at best. I was only there 3.5hrs. Your finish product is okay if you're not expecting much. Your customers would do better elsewhere, if they want quality. I still have a job making $25/hr. without any paint responsibilities. I have best paint trophies for local car shows. That black camaro owner should be delighted knowing the paint is cracking and bubbling. Looks like the painter could use some help. Desperately! Here is my final product at my job. You are funny. I'm honored to not be qualified to your position. It would be a major regression. Hi-Speed is way better product than yours, hands down. You are more like a glorious Maaco from my impression. People also look for good employment and I know why you don't have the high level People; comparable to Hi-Speed Restorations. I know. I've been there. Stick to the mechanics. You're not that good at the paint end. I will keep my accolades to myself and move forward. 😁😁

I love the folks at this shop. I took my 1963 Chevy Impala SS convertible for some restoration work. They did everything I asked and then some. The paint job is stunning and they executed my vision for new upholstery to perfection. Everyone there, David, Ryan & the irrepressible Mary, are friendly & approachable. They answered all my (sometimes, dumb) questions honestly and promptly. They are true professionals and proud of their craft. I have been very pleased with the work and their interactions with me. I would recommend them without question. In fact, I am going back to get some more work done.

So me and a buddy did a engine swap on a 91 ford f150 took a inline 6 out & swapped with 7.5l. It once started but than didn't & would not drive when gas was pressed so there was issues I couldn't solve, so I took it to this "custom" shop. I took 2 loans out combined worth of $5,146.61 USD that they had suggested from there shop because they couldnt come up with a price or amount for me to pay (Im not rich I proably had 1,500 bucks in my account). That they recommended due to "not knowing how long "wiring issues" will take or why it isn't starting. One good thing I will say is they call & communicate good & hey they got it to start but was not drivable still. So this was all after I took a loan of $5,146.61 USD. That's alot of money & still they suggested to take another loan out to fix the truck. I'll give a breakdown of where the money went scripted on the invoice I have. $1,887 Labor wiring issues $940.50 Labor start up issue "getting vechile running properly" $487.50 Labor Fuel tank of corrosion $1,500 Misc work diagnosing wiring adjustments Last starter solenoid & fuel pump strainer kit "shop supplies" worth $306.87 Now looks to me they worked proably about 2 days on my truck & used the loan amount on other projects for other customers vechiles as you know my truck is a 91 ford f150 how bad could it be I wouldn't mind if I paid this much to actually have vechile running smooth & street drivable. So if there suggesting you to take a loan out & they'll tell you to just see how much they'll lend you. Don't do it I wouldn't recommend them maybe there strong points are something else but repairing a old farm truck was too much for them. *funny note my invoice they put 91 Ford F150 5.3l.... it has a 7.5l 460 big block.

This place is the best! I went in to get a new engine for my 2012 Silverado. And from day one talking to Mary on the phone, I could tell they were professional and the real deal. When I went to the shop to talk to the mechanics, David and Ryan, they walked me through all options I could do for my truck. I went with a new engine and once it got to the shop the guys were done installing it within two days of it arriving. The knowledge and professional here is second to none. I also had a grinding sound that I needed them to check out in addition to the new engine and the guy it a bad transfer case, so I ordered a transfer case and dropped it off and they had it installed the next day before noon. Quick and quality work and great communication. They never tried to up sale me on anything, they didn’t try to tell me I needed something when I didn’t. I felt great knowing my truck was in this shop. I got my truck back and I couldn’t be happier, the truck drives better than it ever has before.I’m ecstatic about the work that was done. I’ll be back for more work in the near future. If you’re looking for any mechanic work done to your vehicle I strongly advise you to stop by Sharps. Mary is great at her job and is great with communication. David and Ryan are skilled mechanics that will answer any question you got and they do quality work.

Engine went out on my silverado 5.3 L they were ready for me explained concisely that they had a 6.0l available with 70k miles at the most affordable price and had my truck back to me on early morning of day three thank you will recommend to anyone who is looking to upgrade or having vehicle problems

Great honest people to deal with! Definitely recommend them to my friends and family

Idk what happened to my review?? But I guess this business deserves for me to write about them a second time. I had my 1972 Pontiac Lemans sport LS swapped by them. The owner David quoted me a new motor, transmission, newer brakes, and more. His sister Mary Lou that works in the office is super nice, very customer service friendly and answers all questions you have. If she doesn’t know the answer, she’s quick to pull David into the office to sort everything out. David and Ryan know what they are doing when it comes to LS swaps. They had my car running and driving in a matter of weeks not months with the newer 6.0 and 4L80 installed. David is great, he communicates, sends pictures of the build process, and cares about each build as if it’s his own. This shop personally earned my future business for there punctuality, the way they carry themselves, and the way they treated me like family. David you have a good thing going! keep making people’s dream builds come to fruition! I’ll see you soon with my next project! God bless!

On our way from Seattle to San Carlos, MX. When our 2010 Explorer decided to throw a "wrench" into our plans. We pulled into Sharps at 7:00am on a Thursday morning with no appointment and a red wrench and check engine light on the dash. They recieved us with open arms even though they were very busy. They performed a diagnosis on the spot and with our approval, proceeded with the repair. They rebuild their transmissions in house with quality parts. The items other shops sometimes charge extra for like new torque converters are included in the original estimate. We were very fortunate to fine them in Tucson. Thank you so much, Walt and Linda Drechsler

Thank you sharps custom for making my dreams a reality . They did a complete ls swap in my 71 k5 blazer and paint and body. They have exceeded my expectations. I never thought it would come out this nice. You guys are excellent. If I could give 10 stars I would. Very professional. If you want top knotch work these guys get it done and in a timely fashion. My blazer was at at two body shops and it stayed 1 1/2 at one shop and another for 10 months. Brought it here after a friend took his c10 to them. And they do it all from A-Z. 👍 I highly recommend them. Thanks again.

Took my Escalade in for paint and body work. They did an excellent job, can’t even tell it was rear ended . They even got the job done in less time then I expected. I’ve been recommending them to all my friends and family. And not to mention the friendly staff. They are super knowledgeable and explain everything in detail. Good job Sharps custom.

Had transmission rebuilt in May 2021and business sold in July 2021. I just recently found this out but they will not cover the warranty . I corrected the dates and the new business is still using the name of previous. My warranty wasn't out so you can respond the way you want. I have proof vehicle was still under warranty and have reported to BBB and Kgun 9. If the business sold your not entitled to use their Google reviews for your benefit.

I brought my car in, I was informed the repair would cost more than my old car was worth and that I would be better off getting a new vehicle. I was happy that they told me the truth and didn't just try to make money off of me. They also let me keep my car there for the couple of days that I needed until I could get it towed back home, but with no rush.. I really appreciate that! Honest and kind!
Dec 06, 2021
We had to replace our whole transmission (yikes) and they were very knowledgeable and understanding through the whole process. John made sure to update us regularly and helped us stay on budget. The team was very kind and did a fantastic job.

Very nice shop, they were knowledgeable and precisely described the work needed to properly mate my new trans/ torque converter in my beloved 1996 Chevy Astro that carries a newer motor. They tested it thoroughly, verified it was operating properly, and that the seals were snug before having me pick it up. With 12k / 12 month warranty I can't thank them enough!

We had our 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 transported from Santa Fe, New Mexico because Lithia Dodge had told us that our transmission was unrepairable. Sharp's diagnosed the problem as a damaged wire on the transmission and had it promptly repaired for a fraction of what the Dodge dealer charged us. I would strongly recommend Sharp's to everyone.
