For the team at Specialty Paint & Body in Athens, GA, reducing their environmental footprint is just as important as delivering top-quality collision repair and auto paint services. In keeping with the shop’s mission, a focus on environmental sustainability means delivering the best possible service while also doing their part to protect the planet’s natural resources. To that end, they’ve launched a number of in-house campaigns to reduce pollution and are committed to delivering the most eco-friendly car repair service possible.

With over 30 years of collision repair experience, the trained technicians at Specialty Paint & Body appreciate that restoring damaged automotive paint takes expertise and skill. Unfortunately, conventional auto paint contains air pollutants called volatile organic compounds (VOCs). When released into the atmosphere, these chemicals contribute to smog and can be hazardous to human health. For this reason, the auto body shop has taken strides to improve air quality by using state of the art equipment, such as a Garmat^® USA down draft paint booth. Built to meet or exceed the National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants, using Garmat equipment ensures the Clarke County collision center can deliver quality results in the safest and most ecologically responsible way.

Another critical component to the collision repair center’s sustainability efforts has been their drive to curb pollution by reducing the amount of waste they contribute to landfills. When irresponsibly disposed of, there’s a chance that the heavy metals and chemicals found in automotive parts and equipment may leach into the ground, where they could pose an environmental health risk. By recycling the unused steel, aluminum, plastics, and batteries from their shop, the auto repair center can help keep potential contaminants from ending up in the garbage. Recycling paper and plastic products helps cut down on waste inside the front office too.

In all, improving their shop’s sustainability has helped Specialty Paint & Body deliver more efficient and cost-effective collision repair services to customers. Whether your car needs minor dent removal or full-scale restoration, their experienced and dedicated team is equipped to handle all of your needs.
