1. Travis’s Mobile Auto Repair and maintenance is an environmentally conscious company. All repairs are conducted to ensure complete capture of any contaminants that may leak, and all hazardous materials are disposed of according to local and state regulations. According to Wang et al., in the article Laboratory experiment on the nano-TiO2 photocatalytic degradation effect of road surface oil pollution (2020), “Oil leak from vehicles is one of the most common pollution types of the road”. Travis’s Mobile Auto Repair understands the damaging effects that leaking cars have on the environment and is ready help. Even if you have a car that is not currently leaking, routine maintenance requires the same special care to ensure our environment is protected. Vehicle oil need to be specially recycled, along with anti-freeze, brake fluid, and car batteries. Not all auto repair companies follow these strict guidelines, but be assured that Travis’s does not cut corners when it comes to hazardous waste.
Travis’s Mobile Auto Repair and Maintenance has also partnered with the American Red Cross and assists with vehicle maintenance to ensure they are always ready to support communities in times of need.
