Auto Recycling's Elite Certifications!

Novak Auto Parts, Inc., New Brighton, PA was recently recognized as one of the automotive recycling industry’s top recycling facilities by the Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA), earning not only the Certified Automotive Recycler (CAR) certification but also the Gold Seal certification.

CAR certification reflects an automotive recycler’s total commitment to environmental protection and the operation of a professional, progressive auto recycling facility. Such environmental commitments include participation in the National Mercury Switch Removal Program, Storm Water Pollution Prevention and specialized training for handling hazardous materials.  Earning the CAR designation is a lengthy process requiring significant time, documentation, and employee training. Members receive their CAR certification only following extensive written and photographic documentation. In addition, Novak Auto Parts, Inc., has earned the elite Gold Seal certification for superior customer service. Only 77 auto recycling facilities in the country carry both the CAR and the Gold Seal certifications.

Since 1943, the Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) represents an industry dedicated to the efficient removal and reuse of “green” ROE- Recycled Original Equipment® and the proper recycling of inoperable motor vehicles. ARA represents the interests of over 4,500 auto recycling facilities in the United States and seventeen other countries around the world. With programs such as the Certified Automotive Recycler Program (CAR), Green Recycled Parts, and other partnerships, ARA members continue to provide consumers with quality, low-cost alternatives for vehicle replacement parts, while preserving our environment for a “green” tomorrow.
