Green Shop

Rocky Mountain Tire & Auto is committed to reduce our carbon footprint in the following ways:

We recycle the following:

  • Paper products
  • Antifreeze
  • Steele
  • Newspapers/Magazines
  • Oil products
  • Batteries
  • Tires
  • Aluminum
  • Cardboard
  • Aluminum cans
  • Catalytic converters

We buy locally whenever possible. We use cfl bulbs throughout the building. We donate money from each oil change to the city of Broomfield to plant trees. We utilize a heat/ac system that is on a programmed timer.

Ways we can help you reduce your carbon footprint and maintain an efficient vehicle:

  • Ensure proper tire inflation
  • Maintain your vehicle with tune ups (clean air filter, transmission flush, change cabin & air filters, regular transmission service, fuel system service)
  • Routine oil changes every 3,000 miles – your car will run more efficiently & get better gas mileage (includes belt/hose/fluid check)
  • After 30 seconds of idling, you’ve likely wasted more gas than if you turned off the car & restarted it
  • Mainatain your battery – clean off corrosion – we can check to ensure your battery will continue to hold a charge – automotive batteries tend not to last longer than 4 to 5 years
  • Todays fuel injected cars can be started up and driven immediately – long warmups are no longer necessary

Did you know that by doubling the life of your vehicle, you cut your carbon footprint in half?
