The Next 30 Years...Sustainable Auto Repair

Posted by Mark Pedersen on Wed, Oct, 13, 2010 @ 15:10 PM

It's been 30 years since we started our Somerville auto repair shop, Mike's Automotive Services. Along the way we've had only one focus: Providing quality, transparent auto repair. Times have changed...our community deserves more.

The next 30 years will include a continuation of that legendary Mike's services. But it's about time we add another focus: sustainable auto repair.

That's right - sustainability. We've always been an environmentally conscious shop. Green Auto Repair Boston - SustainabilityNow it's time to take it to the next level. We're taking an environmental pledge. How serious are we? Check out our sustainable auto repair page - we think you'll like what you see. At Mike's we go beyond compliance. We are the greenest auto repair shop in Greater Boston.

Why are we doing this? It's about leadership. There's only one way to build a more sustainable community - it takes local business leaders to stand up and take charge. That's what we're doing. And we're asking all local business to follow.

What's more, the automotive industry by its very nature is one that pollutes. We've always been baffled by shops that don't want to even follow basic practices in order to protect the environment. And unfortunately, they're still out there.

So we're taking a stand. We're laying it on the line - and online - for all to see. It's a pledge not just to be a green auto repair shop, but to help build a more sustainable community.

When Mike makes a promise, he keeps it. Rest assured, the next 30 years aren't just looking bright - they're looking green!

We've got one more big green announcement coming - one that will change Boston sustainable auto repair forever! Stay tuned!
