BumperDoc auto body repair in Oakland steps up to the Green Initiative in a Big Way!

SAN LEANDRO, CA, November 04, 2010 (Press-News.org) Maintaining our environment by keeping it free of harmful pollutants and hazardous materials is a major concern. As a result, companies from various industries are beginning to join the green movement. These new green initiatives have prompted major changes in the way that business activities are carried out, so as to minimize the impact on the planet in support of environmental causes. The auto body repair industry is no exception, and several shops have put measures in place to reduce their environmental footprint.

During the automotive repair process, glass, metals, plastics, cardboard, rubber parts, and other non-hazardous solid wastes are generated. It is estimated that Californians get rid of 42 million tons of waste per year, and auto parts account for a high percentage of these wastes. Fortunately, the majority of these materials can be reused or recycled, and BumperDoc is leading the way in being an environmentally friendly repair shop.

With several locations throughout California including San Leandro, the BumperDoc automotive re-conditioning centers provides a full range of services including window tinting, auto body repair, auto-detailing and more. BumperDoc is also one of the first reconditioning centers to use water-borne paints. The benefit to using waterborne paint is that it decreases hazardous waste generation, and unlike other paint materials the process does not generate spent cleanup solvents.

BumperDoc offers affordable repair options as opposed to costly replacement, which is typically what most other auto body repair shops suggest. "Our philosophy is to repair instead of replace plastic bumpers and metal panels whenever possible, which saves precious natural resources involved in manufacturing and transporting replacement parts." states Jennifer Bradley marketing manager.

BumperDoc takes its green initiative one step further by buying products in bulk, and re-using materials on site. If you are concerned about our environment and in need of bumper repair, paintless dent repair, or auto body repair services then you should set up a no cost consultation with one of their friendly automotive repair experts.

BUMPERDOC is customer-focused, with an emphasis on "Fast, Friendly, and Honest service." We have continued to add services over the years to create a one-stop shop for all of your auto reconditioning needs.
