Default "Do It Yourself" Auto Repair Garages

My friend told me about a place here in Oklahoma City called "The Shade Tree Do It Yourself Garage" where you basically rent a stall at their shop and they provide a all the tools you need to work on you vehicle like a lift, compressor, press, welder, sandblaster, hoist, jack, grinders, and so on. They also have oil and coolant in bulk, and on-site disposal of fluids.

That's right, we offer OKC's ONLY personal shop space for rent. We have a fully stocked tool inventory including MANY specialty tools, power tools, air tools and more. We have a 5,000sq/ft facility with 6 asymetrical lifts to keep you off the ground and make ANY automotive repair quicker and easier. Sure you could do some of this stuff at home in your garage but you'll be amazed at how much time you save by having EVERYTHING at your fingertips. No more running out to buy a special tool, just ask your friendly shop staff and we'll simply sign it out to you and you keep on being productive.

We also have an ASE master technician on staff for FULL SERVICE at rates lower than ANYONE else in town! call today for a quote for your full-service auto repair needs and see the AMAZING difference we can make!

Need parts? We get parts deliveries within about 20 minutes most of the time and to sweeten the pot, we SHARE OUR DISCOUNT with you! We purchase synthetic-blend oil, ATF, and coolant in HUGE quantities (55gal drums) and pass the savings to you.



Have a question? Need an extra hand? We NEVER charge just to ponder your perplexing pickle; If you need more in depth help then that can be arranged for a small fee or we can do it for you at a reasonable shop rate using the standard shop labor guide rates.
