Eco-Friendly, Go Green!
Auto Refresh recognizes environmental responsibility within the mobile automotive industry. Sought not only a process that provided superior results, but also one that would endure as the cleanest, and most environmentally safe, system imaginable.
Careful attention is continually given to the type of equipment and materials used, the training of technicians, the amount of materials used, and the disposal of waste. Because of our highly conscientious approach, an independent research lab confirmed that our out-of-doors method creates less impact to the environment than even fixed-site operations.
Examples
- Conventional shops remove and replace the bumper. The bumper ends up in a landfill. A new bumper will be painted, using a large volume of paint-related material. Unused material will be discarded. AR repairs the original bumpers to its original state, saving the bumper & material.
- A random mobile painter will use high volume spray equipment. Probably 60% of the material will be released into the atmosphere. Paint and related chemicals will be discarded somehow. AR’s high volume/low pressure system provides 90% efficiency, which is only 10% released.
- AR’s certified technician will place a drop cloth under the repair area to capture any and all waste, preventing run-off into sewers and local water supplies. Our low-VOC (Volatile Organic Chemicals) paint will be prepared in an amount equal to the need. High-volume/low-pressure spray equipment will be used, than an ounce or less of unused paint (on average) will be discarded in strict adherence to all national and local codes.
