Why Should I Practice Going Green with My Vehicle?
Auto World Inc. is available to help you go green. If you're looking for an environmentally friendly auto repair shop in Hazelwood, MO, then come to our service center. We recycle many automotive components and provide tire recycling.
The check engine light (CEL) is almost always a warning that your car is polluting excessively and using excessive fuel (a double whammy). Seeking an engine diagnostic and repairing the problem as soon as possible is not only good for the environment, but it's smart for your pocketbook. Fast service can save you fuel costs and prevent further, more costly damage later.
Plus, it's better to know what's wrong with your car so you can make an informed decision on how to fix it.
Although some tires get recycled (all of ours are sent to a licensed recycler), they cannot be turned back into tires. After being shredded, many tires still end up in landfills. Plus the energy consumed to produce that tire can never be brought back.
The best way to combat tire waste is to reduce the amount of tires we use. That's where you come in. By choosing the right tires and maintaining them throughout their useful life, you can reduce your tire usage by 50%.
Low rolling resistance tires can save fuel as well. Many companies have engineered tires that can save nearly the cost of the tires in fuel over their life. Continental has been a pioneer in this field, offering low rolling resistance tires for 17 years. If you're looking for better fuel economy, consider a tire with low rolling resistance.
Of course, keeping your tires properly inflated makes them last longer and improves fuel mileage. We help with this by inflating our tires with nitrogen, which has a larger molecule than oxygen so it seeps less through the tire rubber. Nitrogen also expands and contracts less, keeping your tire pressure more consistent than regular, air-filled tires. If you ever need to add air, however, go ahead. It will cause no issues.
Building a vehicle, when you think of all its components and the transportation of all those components, is not cheap in $ or its environmental impact. Keeping Preventive maintenance can make it last as long as possible. This can be huge benefit for both the environment and your pocketbook.
We upcycle all of our used petroleum based fluids (oil ,transmission fluid, etc.) through our Energylogic furnace in our automotive service shop. It is as clean as natural gas and requires no pre-treatment.
We also send our used antifreeze to a recycler.
All steel and aluminum parts we replace are recycled. You may be drinking out of your old water pump or radiator right now.
If you're not familiar with our auto part cleaning process, picture a big sink (like in your kitchen) with a faucet and a brush. Traditionally this "sink" is filled with a circulating caustic chemical that eats grease and grunge off parts before they are put back on the car. Our system is similar, except it is filled with a microbe compound similar to what they use to clean up oil spills in the ocean. You can literally drink our cleaner. Please don't ask for a taste, it's expensive and really doesn't taste all that good!
If we all do our part, we can make a difference.
We're proud to serve Hazelwood, MO, St. Louis, MO, Florissant, MO, and surrounding areas.
