Shade Tree Mechanic

Casual mechanics who fix or modify cars using tools and techniques that are frequently improper or not "by the book".

Tool boxes include zip ties, they use chrome sockets on an impact driver, don't own a torque wrench, and probably learned how to fix cars from a buddy, youtube, forum posts, or by doing.
How many foot lbs of torque? Just twist it until its "goodandtight". We're shade tree mechanics, not Ford technicians

shade

Shade, n. (from Irish "shéadóg" meaning "blower") - term used to refer to the Gardaí Síochána or other law enforcement agency.

Comes from an era where gardaí carried whistles, which they blew to alert other gardaí and nearby civilians of crimes. The term "shéadóg" was commonly used to refer to gardaí (or other police) in the early 20th century. This became shortened to the English word "shade" in the traveller "gammer" slang, later becoming part of everyday usage.
