North Fraser Automotive Repair Environmental Protection 

We believe that we have an obligation to impact our environment as little as possible. We recycle everything from plastic wrappers and cardboard boxes that new parts come in to papers, oils and batteries and tires. It is our daily practice to do our best to make sure that everything that leaves our auto repair shop stays out of landfills. 

Cleaning Auto Parts

We use an automatic parts washer that uses hot water with high pressure jets that eliminates the need for chemicals to clean auto parts. The runoff from washing is scraped of and oils & particulates then dispensed in oil recycling receptacles. 

Battery Recycling

We sell the longest life battery available, Interstate Batteries. Interstate Batteries is a company dedicated to environmental stewardship. Please read about the companies battery recycle standards.
