Shade Tree Mechanic

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.

Shade account

When someone makes an insta account sorta like a spam account but way more personal. Use names instead of "they" and post depressing things about their life!

Shading

Being clever, witty, silly and fun when getting into an awkward situation, meeting a new person or boss, or presenting a project or group activity.
I see you’ve been shading your way through those group presentations!

Man I wasn’t sure how you would do meeting the new VP of sales but you really shaded your way through that.
