Steps We Take:

- Established a “ground staining” inspection routine in our parking areas to promptly identify and clean up oil and chemicals which may be leaked by customer’s vehicles.
- No underground storage tanks of any kind.
- Keep parking area, dumpsters, and green space free of litter, debris and other contaminants.
- Provide a smoke free environment for our customers and team members.
- Use pump spray bottles instead of aerosol products whenever possible.
- Participate in cooperative purchasing programs with other automotive businesses.
- Use lighting controls such as timers and photocells to conserve electricity.
- Use programmable thermostats to automatically regulate thermostat settings. This reduces energy used when the building is unoccupied.
