A great place to do your own car hobbies.
Drove from Laurel to visit the garage.
The owner Rick is an excellent person, the attention is A+.
You will have all the tools that you need to do your job.
I have done 3 things:
*- Change the transmission fluid of my corolla with a new filter.
*- replace the old headlights
*- front tires balance.
Definitely a great place to work in your car.
Thank you for all the help.
Hope to be back soon.

Rick stayed open late so I could finish my repairs and he helped me several times when I got stuck. You couldn't ask for a better place to work on your car. I loved it

I try to do most of the repair and maintenance my car needs myself. Up until my last move into an area with a strict HOA, it's been me on my back with a wrench in the driveway. A friend of mine suggested I look for a DIY garage. Shadetree was the first result from Google, and I'm glad it was.The owner, Rick, was very patient with me as I adjusted to the wonders of having a lift and air tools. I walked away with the impression that Rick really cares about this business. The shop was clean, the tools were organized and in good working order, and the price was more than fair. I will definitely be going back.

This is all hands down the only legit DIY garage in the Northeast. I live in NYC and have gone to places in the Bronx, NJ and even as far as Virginia looking for a place that doesn't have some defect. They're all the same. Either some paranoid place that watches over you like a Soviet prison guard, or a spot that doesn't have their act together and feels sketchy. So I see this place Shadetree Garage getting ready to see the next defect. Spolier: I never found one. Pull up to the shop and it looks like any professional mechanic shop with 3 bays. Guy who owns the shop is Rick. He's too nice so I figured he's got to have an angle. Little did I know the angle is running a good business and getting lifetime customers. He'll get you set up and let you do your thing. No gimmicks, no games. I needed help once with an axle issue (yeah, it's Johnny Axle) and he advised and helped when I thought it was game over. I could go on all day, but long story short, this is the only real spot in range of the DC/Philly/NYC area. Take it from a guy who learned the hard way and go here first.

Best DIY Garage around! Rick was extremely helpful and has the tools to get everything done. I was able to switch out my axle and change my transmission fluid in no time. This is perfect to help me with my project car and I'll be returning for sure. It's worth the drive, wherever you may be coming from. If you get stuck or if anything looks questionable, Rick is there drop some tips and tricks! Thanks a lot!

Spent two days unsuccessfully trying to remove a cv axle and decided to find a place with a lift. Booked an appointment and got the job done in half a day. Rick was able to help me remove the axle, and if it wasn't for him, I'd still be trying to pull out the axle or having to admit defeat and send it to a shop. Clean shop, great owner, good vibes, and plenty of tools.

I was thinking of this concept an wondering why nobody ever did this, googled it an was shocked to find one in pa. 36 an hour, all tools are provided, call in advance for they can get busy on weekends, located in a beautiful area with super nice people. Its good for any repairs, but really saves money on those nickle an dime repairs that require 40 mins that mechanics hit you for 3 hours. Clean garage, clean wide assortment of tools, be prepared to sign a waiver though

SHOUT OUT TO PENNSYLVANIA PEOPLE and surrounding areas of MONT ALTO, PA. DIY Garage that you can tow your AUTOMOBILE TO and get it repaired. YOU can order parts from local parts stores and can have them delivered. My experience: Planned out, I Ordered a GMC 6-speed transmission from Florida, had it delivered to the Shade Tree garage, Rick signed for it put it aside, and called me when it got there. smooth sailing from there... never had it easier than having a lift to change out the transmission. at the end of the day, I didn't feel any pain and was relaxed unlike prior to doing the project. Much better using a lift than working on your backout in the yard or street... been there done that.Mont Alto, Pennsylvania 4 stall, DIY Garage Loaded with every tool he could find, especially the specialty tools to get the job done easily and quickly in those awkward tight spots. 10klbs. Lifts as well. Rick Lee, Owner, is a great guy and his experience is invaluable when you're stuck or do not know there is a specialty tool that can help you do something easier, ask he's got it. he even helped me with a few things and LENT me his Jeep to ride back to the motel I was at for the night to finish the job the next day. That is CONSIDERATION THOUGHTFULNESS, KIND, and TRUST we the people need more people like him and DIY garages like this around.Mont Alto, PA est 20 miles from the Maryland border, and worth the ride if you can do the work and save money.Service: Transmission

The selflessness and kindness that Rick lives up to every day is something every gearhead aspires to achieve. Meeting him and having someone to show such unconditional support to something I believed in, was truly a breath of fresh air. Thank you to Shadetree Garage DIY for allowing people to learn and help themselves. Clean garage with reasonable prices that's close enough to the greater DMV area. Will definitely be back!Service: Steering & suspension replacement
