Shadetree Mechanic

"Shadetree Mechanic" is a television series that aired on TNN (now Spike TV) for 8 years in the 1990s. It featured automotive repair and maintenance tips. The show was hosted by Sam Memmolo and Dave Bowman. "Shadetree Mechanic" has been superseded by "Crank and Chrome" and "2 Guys' Garage" which air on The Speed Channel.

The term "Shadetree Mechanic" is a general term for people who enjoy working on automobiles in their spare time, usually in their own driveways, taking up basic DIY upgrades as well as basic maintenance. Amongst some people the term has also developed a negative connotation, suggesting that shadetree mechanics often cause more damage than improvement to their cars.Fact|date=February 2007
