Utilizes Low Impact Materials including Solvents: |
|
Each year millions of
gallons of toxic materials are released into
the environment, ultimately making their way
into the earth, water, and air. AAMCO
ECO-Green centers recycle solvents and use
water-based cleaners as alternatives to more
hazardous cleaners.

|
Waste Management of Solids and Fluids: |
|
The disposal of used
parts and waste fluids fills local landfills
and may pollute our water stream. As more
and more landfills are required they push
closer to residential neighborhoods. Older
sites that leak and those brimming with
toxic waste continue to be huge
environmental issues. AAMCO ECO-Green
centers recycle waste fluids and used
filters and have taken efforts to assure
that waste water from the center does not
enter the sewer system.

Promote & Advance the use of Alternative Fuels |
ECO-Green AAMCO
centers promote measures that aid in greater
fuel efficiencies in our customers'
vehicles.
These include: promotion of alternative
fuels (E85), higher mileage oil, filters, &
components, insure proper tire inflation,
and offers new technologies which result in
more efficient and cleaner burning vehicles.
Every gallon of fuel that can be conserved
translates into 2.15 gallons of crude oil
saved. Some very simple conservation methods
can be adopted by motorists that
collectively can help save millions of
gallons of energy. AAMCO ECO-Green centers
offer low emission alternative fuel
solutions and other high-mileage energy
saving services.

Conservation of resources: |
Automotive shops use
utilities, fuel, and other natural resources
to run their businesses. Those resources can
be conserved through energy efficiency
methods. AAMCO ECO-Green centers have
committed to instituting low energy
solutions, solid waste recycling and buying
recycled products.
