Our Reputation
Make informed decisions regarding your vehicle
It’s important for you to work with an auto mechanic who is transparent and can provide you with information to help you make informed decisions about your vehicle rather than feeling pressured to pay for a service you don’t need.
This is our mission at Shade Tree Auto, and we always provide you with detailed, digital inspections with easily digestible information to show what services are a priority and what can wait. We promise to stand behind our repairs and provide a level of customer service that exceeds expectations. We want you to drive away with peace of mind and confidence in the safety and longevity of your vehicle.

Our Reputation
Hear from our happy customers
“Excellent service customer service—very friendly people. They communicated very well and made it easy for me to get my car in and out of the shop. Also, I really like the ‘report card’ they send via text. It allows me to see results on my own time and then make a decision on what to do. Thanks!”
