Our green initiatives
- Recycling: we properly dispose of and recycle vehicle fluids, lead batteries, paper and plastic waste, minimizing landfill use and the risk of soil and water contamination.
- Energy efficiency: fluorescent lighting uses less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs.
- Green cleaning: environmentally friendly cleaning products reduce the release of harmful chemicals.
- Recycled products: we buy recycled office supplies to reduce demand for new materials.
- Green oil change: re-refined motor oil such as EcoPower takes less energy to produce and reduces the need for new oil from crude resources.
Green service without compromise
Our eco-friendly practices don’t change the quality of the work. Every repair is still done by ASE-certified technicians to the same standard — choosing a green oil change simply lets you be part of the solution.
Neal’s Garage was also the first shop in Durham, NC with EV charging, and we’re certified in hybrid and EV maintenance and repair.

Greener driving, too
Well-maintained cars waste less. Properly inflated tires roll more easily — nitrogen helps them hold pressure — and a correct wheel alignment helps fuel efficiency. Thinking about going electric? See what an EV still needs serviced.
