Defiance, OH 43512, Defiance County, all makes and models

Two of your listings send people to a website that nobody owns.

Sharp Automotive is Burt Sharp's shop in Defiance, and 154 reviews across Google and Facebook average 4.5 stars. The business bureau grades it A plus. None of that is doing any work online, because the shop has no website of its own, and the Manta and Birdeye listings both put a Visit Website button on a domain that has never been registered. Ring (419) 782-1500 and the shop answers. This page is what a real one could look like.

What the shop actually works on

Every service here is one the shop already lists somewhere, nothing invented.

The list below is taken from the categories Sharp Automotive is filed under on the business bureau record, plus the shop's own line about welcoming all makes and models. No price appears on this page because the shop publishes none, and guessing at one on a demo would be a poor way to start. Ring (419) 782-1500 and ask.

Tires

Tire dealer is one of the categories the shop is filed under, and a customer review from March 2025 describes turning up with two bad tires and getting them replaced the same day at a good price, on a schedule that was already booked out. That is the kind of thing worth having written down somewhere a stranger can read it.

Brakes, Suspension and Steering

Brake service, suspension repair, shock repair and steering repair are all listed against this shop on the business bureau file. These are the jobs where people ring three shops and pick the one that answers the phone and talks to them straight, which is exactly what the reviews describe here.

Diagnostics and Check Engine Lights

Auto diagnosis is on the shop's category list, and it is the work most likely to get a car sent somewhere else when the answer is not obvious. Say what the car is doing and when it does it, a noise on a cold start and a noise at highway speed are two completely different problems.

Batteries, Alternators and Auto Electric

Alternator repair and auto electric service are both on the record for this shop. No start calls, a battery that will not hold overnight and the electrical faults that come and go are the sort of thing that is easier to explain on the phone than to type, so the number is on every screen of this page.

Oil Changes and Everyday Maintenance

Auto lube and oil changes are listed, and so is fleet maintenance, which means the shop is set up for the customer who has several vehicles to keep on the road rather than only the one. Routine work is also how most people meet a shop before they need it for something serious.

Air Conditioning, Heaters and Mufflers

Auto air conditioning, car heaters and mufflers all appear on the shop's category list. In this part of Ohio the heater matters for half the year and the air conditioning matters for the other half, and both are the sort of job people put off until the week it gets uncomfortable.

Finished work

Three of your listings link somewhere broken, and every one of them is unclaimed.

Here is what a stranger actually finds. Manta and Birdeye both put a Visit Website button on sharpautomotivedefiance.com, and the registry says that domain has never been registered by anybody, so both buttons are dead. The business bureau's Visit Website button goes to a Facebook page whose address is spelled Automive rather than Automotive. YellowPages, Manta and Birdeye all print Claim This Business at the top, and Birdeye's About section is completely empty. The bureau gave the shop an A plus and nobody ever converted it into anything a customer can see.

How it works

How somebody would actually get a car booked in.

Ring (419) 782-1500

This is the number every listing agrees on, and it is the only working route into the shop right now. There is no booking form anywhere, no email address on any page a customer would think to look at, and no website. The phone is the whole system.

Say what it is doing, not what you think it is

A rattle that only happens turning left, a light that comes on when it rains, a noise that goes away once the car is warm. Describing the symptom rather than naming the part saves a diagnosis and it saves you money, and the reviews here suggest that is how the conversation usually goes anyway.

Check which building before you set off

This is worth two minutes. The listings do not agree on the address, some print 310 West Second Street and at least one prints 1747 East Second Street, which is a mile and a half apart. Ask on the phone which one to drive to and the whole problem disappears for you, though it does not disappear for the next person.

Turn up in the morning if you can

Every source that publishes hours agrees the shop opens at 8:00am on weekdays. They disagree about closing time and about Saturday, which is covered further down this page, so morning is the safe answer until that is sorted out.

About us

Burt Sharp's shop, 154 reviews, and not one page on the internet that he controls.

Sharp Automotive is in Defiance, in Defiance County, and the business bureau names Burt Sharp as owner and Lisa Hudson as office manager, with four people on the payroll. The bureau has the business incorporated in November 2016 and trading from January 2017, and it holds an A plus rating with no accreditation, which means the rating was earned and never turned into anything. Across Google, Facebook and YellowPages there are 154 reviews averaging 4.5 stars, and customers write things like thanks for the help with the Impala Burt, you truly are a mechanical genius. The only piece of marketing copy about this business anywhere online is two sentences on an unclaimed Manta page, and it says the shop is here to provide friendly, professional and honest automotive repair, welcoming all makes and models, and that they do not just repair cars, they take pride in keeping their customers comfortable. That is a good sentence and almost nobody will ever read it.

SundayClosed, all sources agree

This block says disputed because it is, and printing a guess here would be worse than printing the truth. Four listings publish four different answers right now. YellowPages says Monday to Friday 8:00am to 6:00pm with Saturday 8:00am to noon. Loc8NearMe says Monday to Friday 8:00am to 5:00pm with Saturday closed. Birdeye says 8:00am to 6:00pm with Saturday closed. Manta says Monday through Saturday 8:00am to 6:00pm. Roadtrippers lists no Saturday at all. Everybody agrees on the 8:00am start and on Sunday being closed, and after that it is a coin toss, so ring (419) 782-1500 and ask. On a live site these seven rows would carry the real times and every one of those listings could be pointed at this page.

Defiance, OH 43512

This is the one thing on this page that is deliberately vague, and it is not an oversight. YellowPages, the business bureau, Manta, Birdeye, Roadtrippers and Yelp all print 310 West Second Street. Loc8NearMe prints 1747 East Second Street, and the aggregated review text on that page says the new location is on Second Street across from McDonald's, which does line up, because the Defiance McDonald's is at 1740 East Second Street. Those two addresses are about a mile and a half apart. A demo site has no business picking one and stating it as fact, so it does not. Ring (419) 782-1500 and the shop will tell you in three seconds, and on a live site the correct address would be printed here once and every listing could be corrected to match it.
