Lexus Santa Monica just completed an energy-saving retrofit by installing highly-efficient lights in the service
bays and wash rack.  The old lighting system was made
of 400w to 1000w metal halide lamps which consumed about 121,340 kWh per year. With the retrofit, the new lights are highly
efficient "T8" lamps. The energy consumption per year will decrease
to 55,576 kWh (The equivalent of taking 5 cars off the road!).

This retrofit is just one of many moves LAcarGUY.com dealerships are working on to help offset our carbon footprint. Stay tuned for more exciting green initiatives we are working on.
