We uses refrigerant recycling equipment when servicing your vehicle's air conditioning systems. All of our technicians are trained and certified to properly use recycling equipment and handle chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Using this equipment, we are able to recapture and recycle CFCs.

Lead Battery Disposal


We recycle lead batteries. When batteries are not disposed of properly, their components will break down and seep into the ground water supply. To prevent this contamination, batteries have to be disposed of in the proper way. Mike's Auto gives our used batteries to battery recyclers who break down the batteries into its plastic, lead and acid components. The plastic is sent to a re-processor for recycling into new plastic products. The lead is melted down and refined then delivered to battery manufacturers. The acid is either reused or treated for proper disposal.
