Things went fine. I was a little late to get to the shop to pick up my car and they waited for me even though the shop was officially closed. I appreciated that they worked with me in that regard.

Shadetree auto is the best car maintenance service! I live in Fallbrook and it is worth the drive to do business with them. They have taken amazing care of my 100,00 mile Kia Soul. Dan is so friendly and professional. All of the mechanics are knowledgeable. As a "car illiterate" female I appreciate their expertise and never feel like I have been taken advantage of.

Dan at Shadetree is the absolute best! He is knowledgeable and honest. I have brought all of my vehicles to Shadetree for the past 6 years. Initially, I took my car there on the recommendation of a friend who has been satisfied with Shadetree’s service for many more years than I have. Shadetree does great work for fair prices which they tell you upfront. If they don’t provide a certain service, they are upfront about that too and provide referrals that they trust.

Great mechanics, very honest. They will tell it to you straight, what you really need to fix and what can wait. Seems like prices are well below dealers and competitive.

I called Dan at 2:30PM on a Tuesday afternoon. Battery issues I thought on my CRV -2016. Dan said "come on down, $185.00 in and out the door." What count me in. 15 minutes and I was on the road again. My daughter, son in law have used this service prior and we all L O V E Dan at Shadetree. Try it out tell um Niece sent you.

Shadetree has always taken good care of us and our cars. The work gets done right the first time, the prices are reasonable -- and if they can't fix something, they tell you so! Along with an assessment of what's wrong and who could fix it. They've been busy recently -- and there's a good reason.

These guys are awesome. Super fast, even with last minute issues. I needed my wheel bearing fixed ASAP and they managed to squeeze me in and fix it the same day. They’re local and awesome! Reasonably priced, very efficient, communication on point and very reliable. I don’t think I’ll take my vehicle to get serviced anywhere else moving forward. Thank you guys!
