Celebrating 100 Years of Family, Community, and Quality Auto Repair.
In 1926, Tom’s grandparents opened Sharp Brothers Garage, a small repair shop at 4th Avenue & Virginia Street in Gary that quickly became a trusted name in town. His parents met while working there (she, the owner's daughter...he, mechanic and wrecker driver), married, and opened their own shop, Republic Frame & Axle, in 1965 — carrying forward the same dedication to craftsmanship and customer care. Today, that shop is still family‑run, still rooted in the same city, and still committed to doing things the right way.
Three generations. Two shops. One century of keeping our community moving.

When the unexpected happens, you need a professional who can handle the heavy lifting.

We specialize in complex rescue and recovery, getting you out of tough spots safely.

Keep our number in your phone for when you need us most. Call (219) 938-7040 for expert recovery.
