Here at Garrett Tire and Auto Center, we are as concerned about the environment and climate change as you are.  We all must work together and individually to make a positive difference in the face of one of the greatest challenges we will face collectively as human beings.

Our Part

We have started a comprehensive recycling program here at the store.  We have been able to reduce our waste stream by at least 50% and are striving for even more.  We have contracted with several hazardous waste companies to dispose of our used oil/oil filters and waste tires properly.

Your Part

Regular maintenance for your vehicle will increase your vehicles fuel mileage and decrease your vehicles emissions.

Tire Pressure:  Just a 1 psi drop in air pressure will decrease your fuel mileage by .4%. Check your air pressure monthly.

Air Filters:  Replacing a dirty air filter can increase your fuel mileage by as much as 10%.  Air filters typically need changed about every 10000 miles. 

TerraClean:  Removing carbon deposits from your engine will increase horsepower and fuel mileage while also decreasing vehicle emissions.  Go to http://www.terraclean.net/ to learn more.
