Sharpe Automotive in Santee combines full-service mechanical repair with custom restomod fabrication from 8517 Ablette Road, operating since 2017 with ASE-certified technicians and SEMA affiliation. GM LS and Ford Coyote engine swaps into pre-1975 chassis constitute the shop's custom division, pairing modern fuel-injection wiring harnesses with classic sheetmetal alongside the custom cycle builds at Darkside Customs on Prospect Avenue. Standard repair services cover computer diagnostics, diesel engine service, and scheduled maintenance across all domestic and import platforms, with OEM-equivalent replacement parts sourced through ACDelco, Motocraft, and Mopar distribution channels. Restomod projects requiring period-correct engine block machining and hard-to-find rotating assemblies source components through San Diego Engine Parts on Prospect Avenue to maintain blueprint tolerances on high-performance builds. LS-to-classic swaps require custom motor-mount fabrication, standalone ECU wiring with GM E38 or E67 controllers, and exhaust header clearance mapping before the completed powertrain receives dyno-verified fuel and timing calibration.
