Airpark Auto Service Named First Scottsdale AAA Approved “Green Shop” Auto Facility!
Airpark Auto Service can prove that our north Scottsdale auto shop is as clean as it looks. Our family owned AAA Approved Auto Repair facility recently became the first auto shop in Scottsdale to receive the distinguished “Green Shop” designation from AAA Arizona and the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ).
When Airpark Auto Service began operating in 1992 our dream was to set the bar high for auto service with a clean and customer-friendly shop where drivers felt safe, respected and comfortable. As a seven-time recipient of AAA’s Top Shop designation along with being named a 2008 Better Business Bureau Business Ethics Award Finalist, we can now add environmentalism to our long list of community service.
Airpark Auto Service set a new record in qualifying to be an Arizona Green Business. After receiving a passing score, we still made final touches including additional office recycling and low-energy lights that earned us an almost perfect score as part of the state’s rating system to qualify. Airpark Auto Service became the 16th AAA Approved Auto Repair facility in the state to receive the “Green Shop” designation.
Phil Farenga, Green Business Coordinator for AAA Arizona, said more auto service stations are using environmentally friendly products and procedures, including water-based cleaners that use steam and agitation to clean instead of chemicals. These efforts make the working environment much safer for auto shop staff and is more attractive to customers. “My personal view is, it’s good for business, it’s good for the community and it just makes good sense to do it,” he said.
