The Organic Mechanic is working to develop a new, more conscientious mindset in the automotive repair industry in Asheville. Not only are we striving to comply with all suggested EPA standards, but we are actively pursuing new and innovative shop procedures that challenge the status quo. We seek out new products that exceed the "standard" and look to the future of car repair.
Reducing our impact on the environment is a top priority. It's clear that we can't keep following our current road. Maybe one day all mechanics will be just a little bit more organic. We provide a 24-month, 24,000-mile Nationwide Limited Repair Warranty to our customers that covers both Parts AND Labor. Located in the Asheville area, we service the following communities: Swannanoa, Black Mountain, Weaverville, Mars Hill, Marshall, Biltmore Forest, Fairview, Bent Creek, Avery Creek, Canton and surrounding areas.
At The Organic Mechanic we provide all the services, repairs and maintenance your vehicle needs. We specialize in keeping your vehicle safe and reliable with routine maintenance, service and repairs.

Services
We are often asked if we only provide "greening" services, or if we only work with bio-diesel.
The best way to minimize more serious breakdowns and the higher costs associated with automotive repair is by doing routine maintenance.
Preventive vehicle maintenance is simply what the manufacturer of your vehicle suggests getting done to keep your vehicle going.
Whether you have a car or truck we provide the maintenance services to keep it running well.
Brakes wear out over time requiring service.
How long your brakes last is based on various things such as driving conditions, how you brake and other factors.

Plan to do a number of errands in one trip rather than several trips and save both time and fuel.
Avoid peak-hour traffic, hard accelerating and heavy braking as they all waste fuel.
Driving smoothly and avoiding stop-start traffic saves fuel and up to 30 percent of greenhouse emissions.
Change up through the gears and into top gear as soon as possible without accelerating harder than necessary.
Driving in a gear lower than you need wastes fuel; so does letting the engine labor in top gear on hills and corners.

Here at The Organic Mechanic we care for the environment, that's why when we built our current facility we went the extra mile.
One of the major contributors to pollution these days is automotive repair shops.
When it rains the oil and chemicals that build up (on the ground) over time due to routine maintenance, etc. ends up getting washed into the storm drains and other areas.
When our facility was built we incorporated some of the most "green" friendly technologies to date.
Essentially, stormwater management has been converted into an 'organic machine', educational opportunity, and a landscape amenity.

A popular question due to the seemingly contradictory nature of the two words, most folks consider automotive repair to be a hopelessly dirty business.
We disagree.
We believe change requires effort.
We believe that effort can be positive no matter how insignificant it may seem.
It is in that spirit that we develop shop policy to improve upon standard clean-up procedures and waste stream management issues that face the automotive repair industry.
Being green is a process, not a destination.
We have our used oil filters recycled.

Car Care Tips for Asheville, NC as well as Swannanoa, Black Mountain, Weaverville, Mars Hill, Marshall, Biltmore Forest, Fairview, Bent Creek, Avery Creek and Canton.
Unless your vehicle requires premium gasoline, filling up your car with high-octane gas is a waste of money.
The premium gas doesn't boost your gas mileage or performance.
If you're not sure what grade works best for your vehicle, your owner's manual will tell you.
You can also ask your mechanic what grade to use.
Using regular gasoline over high-octane gasoline could save you hundreds of dollars a year.
