How is CARS of Grimsby going green?

Jason Barker • January 2, 2024

Whilst it’s inevitable that the car industry will have a negative impact on the environment in future years, we’re aiming to minimise our footprint and make positive change where possible.


Following the purchase of our new premises in 2017, we installed solar panels on the roof to start our green journey, along with LED lights which are automatic where possible. Additionally, each one of our courtesy vehicles is hybrid, reflected on the branding of each vehicle.


In addition, we use the lowest emission, water-based paint available to us, along with high transfer efficiency spray guns, designed to ensure more of the material is transferred to the vehicle rather than into the atmosphere within the spray booth. This ensures that we reduce our environmental impact, without compromising repair.


We recently installed a new eco spray booth, which is more energy efficient. The two main benefits are that we can lower our negative impact on the environment whilst lowering the cost of repairs, which subsequently benefits our customers.


Our projects for the future include going paperless with our workshop instructions and replacing some roof panels with natural skylight panels.



These are just a few ways we are looking to embrace a positive, green journey and reduce our negative environmental footprint.

Even the most careful drivers pick up small bits of cosmetic damage over time, whether it’s a scuff in a supermarket car park, a kerbed alloy on a tight corner, or a stone chip from the motorway.

SMART repairs (Small-to-Medium Area Repair Technologies) are an incredibly popular way to fix minor cosmetic damage quickly and cost-effectively. However, not all SMART repairs are equal.
