Shade Tree Auto Inc.

Amazing place! Incredibly friendly staff, great communication, reasonable prices, and a fast turn around time on inspection (even for someone new to the state). Strongly recommend making Shade Tree your go-to car spot. I'll definitely be bringing mine back for new tires after the holiday.

Best auto experience in Ithaca. Honest service at a fair price. They do a thorough safety check and let you know anything to keep an eye out for in the future too. Friendly staff and very knowledgeable!

Shade Tree Auto is hands down the best car repair shops I’ve ever been to. I've been taking both my 2005 Audi A6 Quattro and 2016 Subaru Impreza to them. Jack and his team are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and take the time to explain what’s going on with your vehicle. Most importantly, they’re honest—no upselling or unnecessary repairs. They don’t just treat you like a customer—they treat you like a neighbor and are truly passionate about their work. If you’re looking for a trustworthy shop that does quality work, look no further than Shade Tree Auto.

We've taken our vehicles to John, Jack, and the rest of the crew for over 20 years. They've made exceptions to let me pull parts from scrap cars on Saturday mornings and given me good prices on the parts, even let me keep a broken down car there for far too long. Any issues we ever had were worked out and we're thankful to have good mechanics in our corner. They were able to rehab an old Volvo 240 brake piece for us that was nearly impossible to find a replacement for. Great people, thanks for everything guys!

I took my Prius to the dealership before I went here. I thought they can fix it quickly because I assumed they have the parts and it would be a couple of hundred dollars at most. But the quote was $3993.21 and they are booked out. I am sure they recommended over the top quality repair, but I’m just a regular person, I can’t spend $4000 for something looked very simple. My car is 7 years old, what’s the point of making it look like a brand new car🤨 I took my car to Shade Tree Auto. They are very nice people and understand my needs. They fixed the problems quickly with minimal cost. The dealership wanted to replace everything and recommended to paint everything to much the color. As my car is getting older, it will need more repairs. I’m satisfied with their service and will go back. I highly recommend Shade Tree Auto!
