In order to qualify, shops must meet requirements in two areas: pollution prevention and resource conservation. According to the ASA program guidelines, green shops have “found reasonable and cost-effective ways to protect our environment and conserve resources. These facilities go beyond the government environmental regulations all automotive repair facilities must meet.”

The Firestone Complete Auto Care locations recognized as Arizona Green Shops, each in Tucson, are located at: 7950 E. Speedway Blvd.; 290 W. Wetmore Road; 3710 W. Ina Road; 3501 E. Broadway Road; and 2430 N. 1st Ave. (Tire Review/Akron)
