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. When you invest in your vehicle at Shade Tree Auto, we invest in it too. We proudly stand behind our parts and labor for 4 years / 40,000 miles on all of our mechanical repairs.

Our vision is to create a new perception of the auto repair industry through respecting our employees, customers, and community.

History
Report
After graduating DMAAC with a degree in Automotive Technology, our owner, Clint Dudley, started Shade Tree Auto in a small garage in Johnston, IA back in 2001. His philosophy was simple; bring back the classic repair shop that educated customers on what was needed, and what was not.
With a belief that a true repair shop should be able to repair cars and trucks, with a commitment to respecting our community, employees, and customers, Shade Tree Auto quickly became a favorite in the greater Des Moines area.In 2005, Shade Tree Auto found a home in Grimes with a 2,400 sq ft facility, that doubled in size 2 years later when an adjacent suite opened up in the building.

Report
At Shade Tree Auto, we try to make your car repair service as simple as possible. Whether it's a routine oil change, or you have a serious issue you need help diagnosing, we will treat you and your car with care and transparency while providing you various benefits that help improve your experience.
Oil Change
Report
Regular oil changes can not only help increase the longevity of your vehicle, but provide you with better fuel mileage, improved engine performance, and peace of mind knowing the parts within your car have been looked over by a certified technician. Depending on your vehicle and what kind of oil it uses, the frequency of your oil changes could vary all the way up to 10,000 miles.
Tire Repair & Replacement
Report
Tires typically do not last over 30,000 miles, and it's our job to inspect your tires at every oil change for any unusual wearing or issues. As part of our courtesy inspection, we complete tire rotation and alignment, as well as balancing so that you can maximize the life of your tires. Once we see that your tire tread has reached 2/32 of an inch, that is when recommend getting them replaced.
