Auto Spares and Sustainability: Turning Scrap Metal into “Green Innovation”

Auto spares

In the new and used auto spares marketplace, there is a constant balance between keeping vehicles running smoothly and minimising environmental impact. A.S.A.P. Spares is a Pretoria-based success story. We have mastered this delicate equilibrium, transforming from a small Opel spares specialist back in 2001 into the city’s leading superior-quality, second-hand, and brand-approved aftermarket car parts provider for a carefully selected range of vehicles.

 

However, our commitment goes beyond just offering a selection of auto spares at affordable prices. We believe that sustainability is a core value, which is reflected in our responsible disposal practices and dedication to giving used spares a “second time around.”

 

From Humble Beginnings to an Auto Spares Authority

 

At A.S.A.P. Spares, we started as a modest operation focusing on Opel spares. Since then, we have grown into a trusted name for Gauteng’s motor vehicle fraternity through our dedication to unparalleled customer service and a deep understanding of the auto spares marketplace.

 

Today, we cater to a wider range of vehicles, including Opel, Suzuki, Peugeot, Renault, Chevrolet, and Citroën. Whether you are a professional establishment or a weekend warrior needing a specific replacement part or expert advice on maintaining your car, our experienced team possesses the knowledge and resources to get your vehicle back on the road quickly and efficiently.

 

Responsible Disposal: Ensuring a Healthy Environment

 

Environmental sustainability efforts are an important aspect of our everyday operations, and we are proud of our responsible disposal practices. For example, used motor oil, coolant, brake fluid and other hazardous fluids are not simply tossed away.

 

These fluids can contaminate soil and water, posing a significant environmental threat. We adhere to our stringent internal best practices and local regulations, ensuring responsible management and disposal of these fluids. This commitment safeguards and sustains our environment and public health for future generations.

 

Giving Old Parts New Life: Minimising Waste

 

Responsible disposal of hazardous fluids is not the end of our best practices policy. We meticulously sort through unusable car parts. Parts that can be refurbished or remanufactured are carefully cleaned and tested before being offered to customers, extending their lifespan and reducing the need for new parts to be manufactured.

 

For parts that are beyond repair, we only partner with trusted scrap dealers and recycling depots that utilise responsible recycling practices. These partners ensure that the maximum amount of metal and other materials are recovered and reintroduced into the production cycle, reducing waste and allowing for further green innovation by reusing waste metal and other materials for recycled products.

 

Sustainable Practices Benefit Everyone

 

Our commitment to sustainable practices benefits everyone. Customers enjoy access to superior-quality, often more affordable, second-hand and aftermarket parts while surrounding communities and the environment are protected from the harmful effects of irresponsible waste disposal.

 

This focus on sustainability also aligns perfectly with the growing trend of eco-conscious car ownership. As environmental awareness continues to rise, we continue to position ourselves as a leader in the auto spares industry, demonstrating that responsible business practices can co-exist harmoniously with a thriving business model.
