Across the nation, there's a growing movement towards sustainability. In the automotive industry, responses to this movement can be seen at both the manufacturer and service levels. On one end, you have an increase in hybrid and electric vehicle production (in 2023, EV and hybrid sales rose to 16.3% of total new light-duty vehicle (LDV) sales in the United States). On the other end, you have service centers adapting to these new vehicle types by educating staff on them, purchasing new equipment and tools for these makes and models, and by employing technicians who can perform maintenance and repairs for them.

At 15th Street Automotive, we believe businesses can make a big impact by going green. That's why we're proud to be recognized by EnviroStars, a program that acknowledges Washington businesses for their environmental efforts, as a green auto repair shop. As part of our efforts, we have emission certified technicians and a hybrid certified technician on staff. We were also the first Hybrid Qualified repair facility in the greater Puget Sound area!

If you're in Washington state and looking for an auto repair shop that aligns with your values, we invite you to give us a visit. We work with many vehicle makes and models, from traditional ICE vehicles and diesel fleets to hybrids and EVs. No matter what you drive, we want to help you keep it moving efficiently, and if you decide to switch to another vehicle type, we are here to continue providing the services you need with the knowledge for the job.
