ShadeTree Automotive in White Salmon and their sister company, GreenTree Automotive in Hood River are my "go to" auto service providers. I appreciate that they don't talk down to their customers, they explain their recommendations, and they are honest.

Andy and his crew are honest, easy to work with and great mechanics. They replaced an axle for our forester and went the extra mile to make sure we had our vehicle performing optimally. Thanks guys! We will be coming here from now on.

Andy is amazing. He towed us from a gravel service road, did a full diagnosis and test on the car, and then towed us 180 miles home. He's hard working, cheerful, and no-nonsense. I'd go back in a flash if I had car trouble, or just for an oil change.

We've been bringing our cars here for years. I've never once felt like I've been jerked around or ripped off. They are super accommodating and generally number one

In the Gorge, Subarus are common for a reason, and Shadetree is one of the benefits of living in White Salmon. Knowing that honest and highly competent Subaru specialists who can perform dealer-level (or better) routine maintenance are located within walking distance gave us the confidence to purchase a new Subaru without the hassle of wasting a day or two taking it to The Dalles or Portland every six months. Andy also facilitated a private sale of winter rims with another loyal customer. A quality small business in a quality small community. Can't recommend highly enough.
