I worked in the auto industry for 7 years and found this place from it's Yelp reviews. My biggest thing when dealing with a business is customer service. John went above and beyond throughout my engagement with him. He's knowledgable, trustworthy, and you can tell he takes pride in his business. Highly recommended! read more

A huge thank you to John and staff for an amazing job on my PT Cruiser. My car received hood damage in the form of a spiderweb-crack & dent. John & co. not only made my car look better than new but did it quickly and kindly. These guys are great to work with and I highly recommend them to everyone. Thank you guys!!! read more

Fantasy works! They will do every thing that you can think and probably include something that you didn't think about for your car. Very friendly customer services + super efficiency. They will also take care of the negotiation with the insurance company for you if needed. In addition they will wash and vacuum your car after their job done. Over all, nothing can be complain about. 5 stars! read more

I have never written a review before, but John at Sharp did such an amazing job on my 2005 black Corolla that I need to complement him and his staff. My car had an orange oxidized roof that had a velvet sort of look. Both hoods were down to the silver metal. We never abused our car. I just do not know why the paint fell off of it. John said it was the worse he had ever seen and that it was probably painted by the dealer after being damaged during transport. I left my car on Tues. evening and by Frinday is was ready, right on time as promised. WOW!!! I cannot tell you how beautiful it looks, from bumper to bumper! The price was reasonable when compared to other shops, and I really wish I had done this years ago! Now when I drive my brand new old car, I am actually thrilled and happy to see it in the parking lot! John and his staff are the absolute best. We have found our new body shop! read more

I got into a little accident a couple of days ago and a friend recommended Sharp. Sanjay was great and really affordable. The best thing was my car was ready in two days! I highly recommend this place! read more

I can't say enough about the great job John, the manager, did to restore our cars to perfect condition after a recent run of bad luck. He knows how to work insurers and to get the done well. I wouldn't go anywhere else around, someone you can trust. read more

Terrible, terrible service! I went there to fix my hood. They forgot to mention that I NEED TO BUY A NEW LATCH, but they expressed no such need. A day later, my hood flew open on the freeway, thank goodness I was not injured and I did not crash. I took it back to them, and they offered to fix the damaging. They did a paint job on my front bumper. I don't know what kind of cheap quality paint they used but the paint started growing bubbles within a few weeks. When I took it back they said I somehow caused the bubbles and the paint to chip, "Maybe I hit it somewhere." I would have taken them to court, but I don't think I would have recovered enough to recoup my costs. DO NOT GO HERE, EVER!!!! They are shady, and pretend to be friendly, but if you point out their mistakes you will see another side of them. It may be hazardous to your life to go to this auto shop. I was here because they were the least expensive I could find. Your life is worth more than a few hundred bucks, don't let them touch your car, even if they are the cheapest you find. Pay full price elsewhere. read more

My son is a composer performer who just completed a long tour of the US in his mighty Toyota Yaris. He picked up a two foot long gouge in the passenger side panel in Manhattan traffic, and by the time he got home a month later, the bare metal scar and dent had fully rusted. UGLY! I found Sharp Auto Painting on Yelp (same son turned me onto Yelp for restaurants) and the rave reviews made my decision. I made an appt with John, brought the car in, found him extremely helpful and genuinely interested in getting me the best price for the work. After all, this was not going to be paid for by insurance. Promised the car in four days. Called me back the next day to say the work was done. It turned out beautifully; like the ugly gouge had never happened. The color matched perfectly, and the price of 778.00 was hundreds less than I would have paid elsewhere. I have another Toyota that needs minor work that I've been putting off. No longer. I'll be calling John again . My first Yelp review and I felt I can't give it five stars the first time out, but dammit, when its earned, it's earned. Thank you John, for restoring my son's faithful steed. read more

I've been to John at Sharp Auto a couple times now to fix the daily grinds of driving around LA. As always, his customer service is second-to-none. He knows his business and tries to fix my problems as soon as possible for the best cost in town! Today I showed up because a rock-slide hit the side of my car (what are the odds?!) and instead of just coming up with some over-inflated price to fix it, he checked it out, brought it over to the garage and had an employee quickly wet-sand it then buff it out and wash the car without ever talking about a PRICE!!! He just tried to fix it easily! It already looks 10X better then when I brought it in this morning. I will eventually return to John to have the actual bodywork completed, but in the mean-time he's fixed my immediate concern on the spot. I can't say enough good things about my experience with Sharp Auto! Highly recommend. read more

These jack-bites on here deleted my review of this COMPANY! I will keep writing it over and over until you get sick of me. It's absolutely ridiculous the kind of behavior a site like this can have. Some companies, like SHARP AUTO BODY, are just that GOOD! If you can't handle it, don't have a review site where people can post there experience. I am a real person, who has taken my car in 2x. Give me a FRIGGIN call and I will prove it to you. If you take down another review of mine, I will make sure to permeate my thoughts of how this site handles itself very quickly. You wouldn't want to get a review from me on the atrocious behavior you are exhibiting w/this vendor. I WILL BE POSTING AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. So, I suggest you get my review RIGHT back up here IMMEDIATELY~ Here is what I WROTE: Let me first say, this is not the only time I have used this vendor. About 7 years ago, I used them to paint another area (of my same car) due to some trash bins that rubbed up against the passenger door. Not only was their pricing reasonable for the work done, but they always go over and above tending to needs that weren't even within the initial spec's. I remember that my model had a seat-belt recall (the buckle part) at the same time. When I brought it up to the rep, he said he would only charge me for the cost of the buckle and install for FREE. Another worry off my list. Well, that left an impression on me. All these years later, I needed some work done on the hood (some fading due to my boyfriend rubbing it with a kitchen sponge while washing my car - yah, I know STUPID). Guess who I went to? This same place, not only b/c of the work performed before (which btw, the paint is superior, doesn't chip or fade, or peel), but b/c of the service. John is real and raw; he gives you a great deal, follows up, and makes you want to come back for more. You know why? Because you sense that he truly CARES. He doesn't rush you off. He educates you on the work that was completed, and the results back it up. I have an older 1988 Toyota 4-Runner that I owe nothing on. It was a second car for someone else and it has very little miles. I do very little driving, cuz I work from home, but I still like to drive a car that looks put together and taken care of, b/c I still drive to client's businesses and homes. It was worth the financial investment for me to get the work done. I actually gestimated what the cost would be before I went it, and John came in under that. John gets the job done. No frills. No BS! I would recommend this place to anyone seeking to get their car repaired or updated, for any model and any year. Wish I could post a picture here, so you can witness for yourself why I say what I do on here. Maybe someone can figure it out and email me so I can update it. Thanks John for another job WELL DONE! read more

I was originally scheduled to take my car to another repair shop suggested to me by insurance and then I remembered that my son had his car repaired at Sharp Auto. The service is awesome there was no waiting around to be seen and my car was looked at right away. John the manager went out of his way to make sure that the insurance company dealt with my car asap and kept me informed throughout the process. (my mercedes was damaged when someone hit me head on damaging the front bumper). I had my car returned to me within 4 days in better condition than when i gave to them even fixing a few other misc things at a very min charge. They even dropped me after I gave them the car and John himself came to pick me up once the work was completed. I was very impressed with their service and will go to them in future for all my checkups which are most reasonably priced. Good job guys at sharp auto you have a great team. read more

There aren't enough stars available to give John. I was having a really really bad week and even worse morning when I realized my husband side swiped my car on the way out the driveway which left my door flapping in the wind, grounding me for the morning at the worst moment possible. After crying for a few minutes, pulling myself together for a few more, duct taping my door shut, I searched for fair and affordable body shops and John came up first. He said he would take a look at it and see if they couldn't get me moving at least. So I went, and they looked, it wasn't working, and for a second I was nervous this would cost a new door. But they didn't give up, they asked me to wait a bit in the office. So I chatted with John for a bit and he helped me understand that i would, in fact, require a new door and how to navigate insurance. In no time, his employee came back and fixed the lock so I could go face my dumpster fire of a week. He even let me drive off to get cash from the bank without leaving anything in exchange, saying he trusted me. I brought back more cash than he asked for and had to really thank him for being such a decent guy. Seriously the best part of the week, resolving an issue while being reminded of the graciousness of humanity. Thank you John. I'll be bringing back both of our cars soon. read more

What can I say, John really is a great guy and helped me twice already in the last year doing a great job both times. He showed me everything I needed to know and broke down prices compared to other people, even gave me some advice. Really phenomenal job by the crew both times and even gave her a wash! 5/5 read more

Some kid hit my car and begged me not to report him and take the minor damage to "his" body shop, which turned out to be Sharps. They fixed the dent, but they did not reset the air bag sensor, so the air bag light was on permanently.. .. The Toyota dealer (that is another story) wanted insane amounts of money to diagnose it. Fortunately another person hit the car within a few weeks and we had this work done at a better shop paid for by the insurance read more

They fixed my bumper for a very reasonable price (bumper replacement for $500). They did a good job. Will recommend this to others.

This place does everything, not just painting. ALWAYS ask for John! They do auto repair all the way down to an oil change. John could not be nicer, more efficient, or more trustworthy. They are very reasonably priced. We have had everything done from a car hood replaced, center console fixed, radiator replaced, to an oil change. As long as John is there, it is the best business in Northridge! read more

If you're looking for someone to repair your auto body damage, stop looking! This is the place to go to. John is a wonderful guy who had our best interests from beginning to end. He took so much stress off of us. We knew from the beginning he was someone we could trust. He's an angel. Gifted in his field. We will only use Sharp Auto Body in the future. When you find a gem, you keep them forever. Thank you John from the bottom of our hearts. You are without a doubt the Best! read more

I really like the costumer service here! John is always so nice and help, and they are more than willing to work with you for whatever you need. read more

Had a color change on my 93 Ford Ranger. The paint is beautiful and the workmanship was first rate. The price was more than fair.

Great service! I spoke to john and he was very honest with me and gave me such a great deal. My car turned out great!

Highly recommend this place and will definitely come back. Very fast and affordable price!

I am blessed to have found John's shop, mostly by coincidence. I was browsing around Yelp for a recommended body shop for the newly purchased used van I got at less than blue book value for my parents since the van had some scratches on it, with one fender and door having about a 2 feet long deep scratch. My mom wanted to get the van look immaculate again, so off I went looking for a reasonably priced body shop. John's was the second shop I visited. Though they were both fairly priced, what won me over was John's honesty and practicality. Both my husband and I went together in separate cars. I was driving my parents' van, and my husband drove our Dodge Journey. John gave me two estimates for my mom's van, and he actually took the time to talk me into NOT doing the more expensive repair because it was not practical. After giving me a fair estimate for my parents' car, I asked him to look at mine. My dad scratched the side of my Dodge Journey a year before, and there was this HUGE eyesore of white scratches on the left fender and bumper that I was not able to take off before, so I asked John how much it would cost to fix it. Can you believe he actually said, "oh I bet you we could take that off now!" He then proceeded to call one of his guys to see if he could get the scratches off with some thinner ( I think it was thinner). I was totally flabbergasted when in less than ten minutes, his worker got the nasty white scratches off the left rear fender and bumper! And John did not charge me for it! He could have made money off my husband and me, but he did not take advantage of us. He gained my respect and loyalty that day. I will not take my car for repairs any where else! John is a man of integrity and he goes above and beyond. He even gave me a free written estimate of the work that needs to be done (he gave the non-discounted price on the estimate) for my mom's car so I could take it back to the dealership for them to discount the priced I paid for the used van. ( Thankfully I insisted on buying the cooling off contract). I took the written quote to the dealer and as a result of John's advice, I was able to get an extra $1,200 off the price I paid for the van! THANK YOU JOHN! God bless you and your crew for the wonderful job you all do! read more

John is the BEST!!! anything I need done on my car from an oil change, to replacing the water pump he will make sure it all gets done and quickly. He knows what he is talking about and doesn't over charge. I've been going to this place for a few years now because I know they will do a great job! If I could give them more stars I would! read more

This is the third time I have brought cars to Sharp Auto Painting. I know this will sound cliché but the car came back better looking than when it got there. Yes of course the area of damage was repaired and extremely well I might add, but they took the time to clean and polish the entire car and even touched up some scratches on other parts of the body. They did exactly the same when they repaired another car of mine. They made what is normally a pain in the butt process extremely easy and very efficient. They kept me informed as to the progress of the car and even got the car back a few days before promised. They are all very courteous and extremely professional. Couldn't have dreamed of a better repair job !!! read more

Very nice manage John! We had a damage on the front bump and got it fixed in Sharp for $365. The body work is perfect, my front bump looks like new now. During the 2 fixing-day, John arranged a brand new mini cooper for us and pick us from my home by himself. Because of the damage, I didn't wash my car for a long time but John cleaned it after the repair, he even polished the front light for me. Highly recommend this place! read more

Great guys left no trace of random keying of my truck. Anyone and everyone who needs auto body should check these guys out.

AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! I called Sharp based on the Yelp reviews and was blown away by the magic they were able to make happen with my old car!! As a management consultant who works with major corporations on how to strengthen their relationships w/their customers, Sharp Auto Painting is a clear example of best practice! John, the manager, sets the standard for candor, courtesy, and going out of the way to exceed expectations for service. He squeezed me in when it would have been easy to book me a week later. Luis, is an absolute artist when it comes to actually doing the auto work. There are many choices when is comes to Auto Painting and repair but Sharp sets the standard that others should follow. read more

It was worst experience. They trapped my ignorance in rules, for making money and pushed me to certain litigations, waste of time and money. Non trust worthy. read more

Best body shop in the valley! I dented Grandma's car, with Grandma in the passenger seat. Whoops! It was a bad enough dent that the dent mechanics couldn't do a thing for it. So I shopped around, bringing the car from body shop to body shop to get quotes and advice, and no one was as helpful, knowledgeable, and negotiable as John at Sharp Auto Painting! What impressed me most was his openness. He drew up the quote right in front of me, getting all the information from his computer and locking down every detail, so that he gave me a quote I knew I could trust. And it was the lowest quote I got! Honesty goes a long way. He was also very understanding: Grandma and I have busy schedules. So many things got in the way of getting the car fixed, but John was obliging and told us to bring the car in whenever we were ready and he'd fix it right up. He was very friendly! Pleasure to talk to, always cheerful. I felt comfortable leaving the car with him. The guys there did a great job replacing the dented door panel and painting the damaged side of the car. It looks good as new now, absolutely perfect! It's amazing. I'm so glad I took the car here. Sharp is the perfect car solution for college students: affordable, accommodating, and honest. And it's just a couple blocks from CSUN, an easy walk! read more

I got several quotes for my fender bender. John was great. I got my car back the next day and it looked brand new. The car was also washed and vacuumed. If you are steered to the body shop recommended by the insurance company, Sharps will be about half of what the other shop quotes you. They really do a great job. read more

These guys are great. What a relief to find a reliable auto body people right after moving to a new area. My car was hit at my husbands work and suffered significant body damage along the drivers side. We were impressed with their service and attention to detail. The car looks great now and they even fixed a little problem with our oil light blinking. Superb work! read more

John did a very good job on my car. It went it looking like garbage and came out like a miracle. A VERY good job. I had it painted. I was charged $614 for the outside, he did extra (on his own). What ever the price is, that is the price. He fixed the black trim that was peeling off and I did not have to ask, my car looked so bad I did not even ask about the trim because I do not know anything about cars. My license plate was dented and it was straight when I got it, they cleaned my headlights (inside) and it looked new and clean. Most mechanics/auto body technitions would just leave it and only do what they had to. John did good to me. Praise God! read more

We just had our 2001 Yukon XL rear doors fixed and painted. John (manager) gave us a great quote!!! We looked around and he is by far was the most honest and reasonable person we spoke with!!! I highly recommend their work to anyone who needs a good honest body shop. read more

Amazing, Friendly People and the best car repair I've ever had. Highly recommend it. :)

This has to be one of the best auto body repair shops anywhere. I went in hoping they could fix an electric window (with a broken switch) that wouldn't roll up, and hoping they could do this at a huge discount on my 1997 car. I didn't have the budget for the full repair, but they very kindly fixed the window for a small fraction of the cost so its permanently rolled up now and I can lock the car. I also had a minor side swipe when another car hit me which they cleaned so that it looks a lot better. John gave me good advice to not waste money on painting or body work on such an old car. He and this business are outstanding -- they're honest, courteous, and they treat you like they would want to be treated. Yvette read more

Great paint job!!! Helped out my mom fix and repaint her car at a reasonable price. Great price and friendly customer service. Thank you!

I collected my 18 year old Honda last night and it looks brand new following a FANTASTIC paint job. I cannot thank John for his OUTSTANDING customer service. John also went the extra mile to find some replacement sun visors for me at a very good price. I cannot say enough good things about this business, so just take your car there to have it transformed at the best price in LA, let alone the Valley and ask for John. Thanks a million John! read more

VERY satisfied with Sharp Auto. John was excellent. Kept me informed of the progress of the work. Work is excellent. Car looks like new. Highly recommend. read more

John and his team are amazing. Unfortunately we've had 3 accidents in the last 2 years but FORTUNATELY we had SHARP come to the rescue. We cannot say enough about how wonderful they have been. Not only have they assisted with working with the insurance companies, but John's professional advise on how and what to repair has been priceless. He really knows his stuff. All 3 experiences with Sharp have been outstanding and John has gone OVER AND ABOVE what was expected and we cannot thank him enough. We highly recommend him to all of our friends and relatives. Thanks John for everything!!! read more

My husband was dropping off our kids at school on a carpool line and accidentally bumbed into the car in front of us. He barely nicked the bumper of the car in front of him, but the driver (an insurance agent himself!) wanted to get his entire bumper repaired of dings and repainted. (Later we learned through John that he was planning on selling the car, which is why he was so eager to get the work done.) The other guy got three quotes, ranging from $450 to over $800. Our regular mechanic referred us to John at Sharp Auto Painting. Some of the other estimates said there could be other problems lurking below the bumper, but John said that was nonsense. He also pointed out which companies gave us quotes for bogus "repairs" we did not need. John quoted us $300 and did an amazing job! The bumper was repaired in no time, the color match was perfect and the job was first rate. The owner was thrilled with the repair job. All in all, John saved us a lot of money. I would go back to him again in a heartbeat. In an industry where it is difficult to know who to trust, it is refreshing to find someone like John! read more
