Free car emissions repair program offered at metro area auto shops

posted in: News | 0

Turbo Tim’s, a metro auto shop, is partnering with the nonprofit Environmental Initiative to offer free emission repairs for residents’ vehicles.

Project Clean Air Repair works with local auto repair shops to cover the cost of fixing emission controls and exhaust systems for low-income Minnesotans, according to an Environmental Initiative press release.

Turbo Tim’s is one of several Minnesota auto shops partnered with the Environmental Initiative. Other locations include The Lift Garage, Cars for Neighbors, the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe Small Vehicle Garage, Nghia’s Auto Service and Newgate School.

“Joining forces with Project CAR aligns perfectly with our mission to serve the community,” said Tim Suggs, owner of Turbo Tim’s, in a statement. “By providing emissions repairs at no cost to qualifying Minnesotans, we’re hitting the road running toward cleaner air and a brighter future.”

A typical passenger car can emit up to 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year, according to epa.gov. Older cars may have outdated or broken emission controls, which increases the amount of pollutants and makes the air more harmful to breathe.

Project CAR gives Minnesotans an opportunity to receive a service while reducing gas emissions and creating a more air-friendly environment.

“The people who participate in this program get to work with a set of garages who fix these cars from a safety and reliability standpoint,” said Bill Droessler, Environmental Initiative senior partnership director. “And it provides environmental benefits for reduced car emissions.”

Project CAR is offered at the Turbo Tim repair shops in St. Paul Midway, West St. Paul and Northeast Minneapolis.

An 8-year-old boy has died after police say a relative shot him in Burnsville last week.

The suspect also shot himself and remains in critical condition at HCMC, according to Carissa Larsen, Burnsville’s communications director.

Officers responded to a shooting at an apartment on Echo Park Lane near Dakota County Road 11 and McAndrews Road about 11:45 p.m. Wednesday. Police and medical personnel found a man and the 8-year-old boy in critical condition, and transported both to the hospital.

The boy died Sunday.

The shooting “was a family situation” and the investigation is ongoing, Larsen said. “Right now there’s been no indication that this child was the target,” Larsen said.
