Due for an oil change? Well you can set aside the usual cost of getting a new oil filter for your vehicle and make some contributions to the environment as well. For the eco-friendly drivers, Filtermatic offers an appealing deal on their oil filters.

All of this becomes possible with this Filtermatic Used Oil Filter Recycling Machine. FilterMatic enables quick lube and auto service shop operators to meet or exceed environmental standards for used oil filter disposal while enabling shop owners to earn income from the sale of the filter metal. Steel collected from the filter can be sold.

Facts about the Filtermac Used Oil Filter Recycling Machine:

  • removes and collects the steel base plate from the filter.
  • crushes and extracts used oil from the filter.
  • collects the resulting steel, filter, and used oil for proper recycling or disposal.

FilterMatic was successfully introduced last month at the annual Automotive Oil Change Association (AOCA) trade show and has since been invited to attend the 2009 annual invitation-only Jiffy Lube Convention & Trade Show.

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

With majority of people today shying away from buying new cars, car repairs are becoming the next boom and alternative for car owners. And one thing that has to be a problem is scheduling of service to which RepairPal seems to have covered wisely.

RepairPal announces a strategic partnership with AutoNation, the nation’s largest auto retailer. The partnership will deliver targeted auto service appointments to AutoNation’s 253 retail establishments.

Consumers benefit from RepairPal by quickly finding high-quality repair shops they can trust to work on their specific car model. “Partnering with a world-class operation like AutoNation gives our users the assurance they’re getting quality service when their car needs repair, and proves that our solution scales with the largest organizations,” said David Sturtz, CEO RepairPal.com.

Auto repair shops appreciate the easy and efficient leads that come in as live phone calls from customers who need service. Shops avoid wasted time on the phone because the customers are targeted by location and car make. Plus, when consumers already have an estimate from RepairPal, they don’t have “sticker shock” when they get the exact quote from the shop, and are less likely to go “shop around” to see if it’s a fair price. All this adds up to an easy and efficient way to bring in additional profitable business and create satisfied long-term customers.
