Why Jim Chose Solar + EV

Running an auto shop comes with high energy demands—air compressors, lifts, lighting, climate control, and charging equipment. Rising utility costs were eating into profits. At the same time, customer demand for EV servicing and charging solutions was growing rapidly.

Jim saw the opportunity:

• Solar panels to cut down energy bills.
• EV charging stations to attract a new segment of eco-conscious drivers.

By combining the two, Jim not only reduced operational expenses but also future-proofed his business.

The Results

✅ Energy Savings: Solar panels now cover a large portion of the shop’s electricity needs, reducing monthly utility bills significantly.

✅ New Customers: With EV charging stations on-site, EV drivers stop by, creating additional foot traffic and service opportunities.

✅ Brand Reputation: Customers see Jim’s Goodyear as an innovator and sustainability leader in the community.

✅ Long-Term ROI: The solar investment is expected to pay for itself within a few years, while continuing to deliver savings for decades.

Customer Experience

For drivers, the difference is clear. EV owners can charge their cars while getting tire service or a quick check-up. Traditional vehicle owners appreciate that their trusted auto shop is embracing the future. Jim’s Goodyear has built a loyal customer base by showing that sustainability and great service go hand-in-hand.
