  Antifreeze - With an on-site filter, Humboldt Automotive recycles and reuses the coolant.
  
  
  Used Oil - the used motor oil generated through oil changes is burned on-site in an EPA approved oil burner, providing the shop with its winter heating needs. This technology makes use of a waste and conserves energy resources. Used oil filters are crushed on location to extract the residual oil before being recycled.
  
  
  Cleaning Solvents - Humboldt Automotive bought a new water-based parts cleaner soon after joining the EnviroStars program. Parts are washed and the cleaning fluid recycled on site, saving money and reducing pollution. For parts too big to fit in the washer, Loomis often trades machining work or other services with businesses that have larger washers.
  
  
  Fuel Injection Systems - Humboldt recently purchased a system that cycles cleaning chemicals through the engine filters and recycles the chemicals.\n\nServices:

  Typical Service
  
  Change oil and filter every 3,000 miles. Many car manufacturers recommend extended oil drain intervals for some drivers. If you regularly make short trips in your car, drive in stop and go traffic, idle for extended periods, drive in dusty or dirty air conditions, tow a trailer or live in a cold-weather region-stay with the 3,000-mile/three month schedule.
  
  
  For automatic transmissions, brakes, power steering and axles, vehicle-specific fluids should be used. Coolant should be changed every two years or 24,000 miles on cars with ethylene glycol antifreeze.

  I totally rely on Humboldt Automotive to give my car whatever service and attention it may need. In fact, I drive the car that they recommended when my last car began to falter.\r Humboldt has earned my trust in all things automotive.
