FAQ

Frequently asked questions. And answers too.

What does Green Garage™ actually do?

We ‘green-tune’ cars to run cleaner, greener and cheaper and all while ‘fixing’ the whole bad automotive service experience. We find proven, sustainable, energy saving automotive maintenance and repair related products. And we can keep you out of stale gas smelling waiting rooms with their bad coffee and old magazines through our convenient consumer valet and corporate mobile on site services.

So, how does this whole Green Garage™ dealio work?

In one word, we’re easy.

Please hum that old Lionel Ritchie song ‘Easy’ while reading…

Easy Step One:

Our Carhuggers™ (what we call our car-lovin’ mechanics) first need to get their hands on your car!

  • Valet: We’ll come to your home or office, pick up your car, green-tune it at our shop, and deliver it back on your schedule. Call or email us to schedule a convenient time.
  • Mobile On-site: Designed for groups of 4 cars or more, we’ll bring ‘Willy’, our Green Garage™ on wheels truck to your parking lot to quickly service employees, club members or other green-minded mobs.
  • Fleet: If your company owns a mini or maxi fleet of vehicles we can help you save money over the long haul. There’s nothing more fun than green-tuning a bunch of cars all at once!

Easy Step Two:

To find the right products and services to turn your car into a lean, green cruising machine all our customers get:

  • An Energy Intervention, pre-green tuning diagnostics to see how to get the best out of your engine.
  • Our special ‘53 Point Systems Inspection’ that proactively identifies any preventive issues that may require maintenance.
  • Plus, we’ve bundled our most popular products into affordable packages. Or you can select from a la carte offerings. Your choice.

What auto repair services do you offer? Is it only oil changes?

Green Garage™ is a full service operation – any repair, any adjustment, any vehicle. Don’t hesitate to contact us whether it’s wiper blades, brakes, or a timing belt we do it all with our core values in mind.

I get cheaper oil changes from other shops, why should I pay more?

Our green oil change is a lot like a CFL light bulb. Although you pay some extra dough up front, you get a huge payback with energy savings. In fact, the longevity of our oil change will save you about $175 over 24k miles! Amazingly, you only need to change the filter 4 times and the oil once during this 24k mile time frame. By having your car serviced by Green Garage™, you’ll use 70% less oil, which helps break our dependency on foreign oil.

Where is your shop?

Today we have shops in Boulder and Ft. Collins. These shops are designed for cars instead of corralling people into typical, uncomfy garage waiting rooms. We think our model is a better way to deliver service for both you and your car. Frankly, there’s no need for you to ever set foot in our facility. However, if you’d like to stop by to check us out or to drop off a box of ‘thank you’ donuts for our dedicated carhuggers™ please let us know. BTW, chocolate-covered long johns are the bomb!

Oh…one last thing? Our non-retail shop helps us to control our overhead so we can afford to offer our convenient valet and mobile services at no-cost or low-cost. Trust us, from start to finish, the Green Garage™ experience is built to deliver a new level of service and respect for your time, your money and your planet.

Why don’t dealerships offer the products and services provided by Green Garage™?

This very question is what led self-described ‘recovering car dealer’ and Green Garage™ founder Ryan Ferrero to start this business. The reality of the old school auto dealership business model is one that banks on seeing you and your car for maintenance on a very regular basis. And sometimes includes work that you may not need.

Green Garage™ has broken the mold, offering technologically advanced products that you may never see at a typical auto dealer. For your assurance, we’ve built a cutting edge product evaluation methodology that enables us to bring you proven, warranty friendly products that save money, time and the planet.

How long does it take to get service from Green Garage™?

Like any auto repair shop, the answer depends on what services your car needs. Research shows most cars sit idle more than 90% of the time so our mobile and valet services allow us to take advantage of these idle periods. Giving you a convenient, time saving repair and maintenance option that fits your schedule.
