Environment & Sustainability
Collision repair has a footprint — solvents, paint, water and energy. For decades we've invested in the equipment and habits that shrink ours, so a quality repair never has to cost the environment more than it should.
Our commitment
Andrew's Collision Auto Repairs is committed to reducing its impact on the environment — cutting the pollution and waste that come with running a busy repair facility, and offsetting what's left.
That commitment isn't a slogan on a wall. It's wired into how the workshop actually runs: the booths we spray in, the way we treat our waste water, the machines that reclaim our solvents, and the everyday recycling our team does without thinking twice.
The result is a repair you can feel good about — finished to the standard you'd expect from 37 years in the trade, with a lighter footprint behind it.
What we actually do
We're a participant in the Carbon Neutral tree-planting program — planting trees against the emissions we produce, working toward neutralising our carbon footprint over time.
An on-site solvent recycling machine reclaims and reuses cleaning solvents in a closed loop — cutting both the harmful chemicals we'd otherwise discard and the new product we buy.
All of our waste water is pumped through a filtration system before it ever reaches the waterways — so what leaves our site is treated, not tipped.
Paint overspray is channelled through a double-filter system in our spray booths, capturing particles before air is released — for cleaner air inside the workshop and out.
Paper, cardboard and packaging are separated and recycled as a matter of routine — reducing the waste that leaves our workshops for landfill.
Cleaner products, smarter processes, less waste — we keep reviewing how we work so our footprint keeps shrinking as the trade evolves.
Carbon offset
Through the Carbon Neutral tree-planting program, we give back what our workshop puts out — working toward neutralising our footprint, one repair at a time.
Why it matters
Doing this properly isn't just the right thing to do. Treated water and filtered air make the workshop a healthier place for our team. Reclaiming solvents and recycling waste keeps our costs down — savings we'd rather pass on than waste.
And for the growing number of fleets, businesses and government departments that screen their suppliers on sustainability, it means we're a repairer you can put forward with confidence.
One repair at a time, it adds up to a cleaner trade — and a workshop the next generation of our family will be proud to run.
