Autobahn Motorwerks, located at 4410 SW 142nd Avenue in Beaverton, Oregon, has recertified as an EcoBiz. First certified in 2017, Autobahn Motorwerks has continued to find innovative solutions to perform environmentally-friendly automotive repair.
A regional leader in less toxic parts cleaning, Autobahn Motorwerks uses an ultrasonic parts washer with an all-purpose cleaner that is certified less toxic by EPA Safer Choice. This ultrasonic parts washing method has eliminated hazardous waste from parts washing, cut staff time in half, and saved about $10,000 annually.
