If you live in or near Urbandale and are searching for an auto shop you can actually trust, here’s why more local drivers are heading to Shade Tree Auto on 70th Street.

We’ve built our name in Grimes and Ankeny, but our Urbandale shop is gaining traction—and here’s why.

1. We’re Local, Not a Chain

Our Urbandale team works and lives right here in the metro. We’re not just turning wrenches—we’re building trust. Unlike some chain shops, our techs aren’t incentivized to upsell. They’re trained to explain what’s urgent and what can wait.

2. Digital Inspections That Make Sense

Our techs walk you through repairs using photos and clear notes. Whether you need brake pads today or just want to plan for a new battery in six months, you’ll know what’s coming.

3. Convenient Shuttle and Loaner Service

You don’t need to rearrange your life to get your car fixed. Our Urbandale location offers shuttle rides and free loaner vehicles so your schedule doesn’t stop just because your car does.

4. We Back It Up with a 4-Year / 40,000 Mile Warranty

We’re confident in our work, and our warranty proves it. Whether you’re getting new tires or complex electrical repairs, your vehicle is covered long after you leave the bay.

5. We’re Expanding Services in Urbandale—Including AC and Alignment

As demand grows, so do our services. Shade Tree Urbandale is now fully equipped for AC service, suspension and alignment checks, and even same-day oil changes when you book early.
