Clean & Green

Giannini's Auto Body from the very beginning has tried to do its part in keeping our impact on the environment as minimal as possible. Staying on top of new and innovative technologies is very important in the battle to keep our employee's and our neighbors healthy.

Switching to "Waterboarne" paint was a no brainer for us. We were the first shop in San Francisco to fully convert to the water based system, nearly two years before its requirement by law. With that compliance date looming, we are not only ready, but fully trained and experienced in its use. We are one of only a handfull of shops that is acually certified "Clean & Green" by the city of San Francisco. We have also implemented other technics, such as vacumn sanders, low energy compressors, and recycled booth filters. These technics has earned us praise from the Department of Public Health and has won us a nomination for 2009's "Clean & Green" Award.
