Taking pride in doing something extraordinary with a tool or machine that isn't the best choice, only because of the fact that it's your tool/machine.

Window Mechanics: When an electrical appliance or piece of technology fails to operate and usually due to insane frustration the user is left with no alternative but to throw it from a high window.
Pissed off techie - "My laptop crashed again last night. I tried everything to get it working again. I ended up using Window Mechanics."
Techie2 - "Looks like you're off the computer Store."

An individual who can preform car repairs and maintenance for a fraction of the cost if those same services were done at a dealership. The Shade Tree Mechanic, more commonly known simply as "Shade Tree" is very knowledgeable of how to service most domestic vehicles manufactured before 1995. Any vehicle manufactured after 1995 and import vehicles in particular are problematic for Shade Tree; however, Shade Tree will tell you otherwise.
Shade Tree operates from his own driveway or in front of his house on the street. Ideally, the service work is preformed beneath a tree with a large canopy providing necessary shade during hot summer days hence, the title "Shade Tree."
Be advised, the Shade Tree does not possess any metric tools, uses vise-grip pliers in practically every repair situation and will require you make multiple trips to the auto parts store to replace things inadvertently damaged by the apologetic Shade Tree during the service repair process.
Most shade trees will barter and accept various forms of payment including cash, a carton of cigarettes, liquor, Wendy's or Burger King.

Joe: I need new brakes for my car but the dealership wants over $400.00
Mike: Bruh, go around the corner and holla at that Shade Tree Mechanic. He'll hook you up for a pack of squares and some Chick-fil-A.
