How Jenkins Kia of Gainesville Approaches Sustainability

Our sustainability efforts focus on real, day-to-day actions—more efficient facilities, thoughtful service processes, and a growing selection of electrified Kia vehicles ready for life in North Central Florida.

Service with the future in mind

Eco-Aware Service Department

Tires and batteries from our service department are sent through recycling partners instead of heading to landfills. Regular pickups keep used components moving into responsible recycling streams to help protect the local environment.

Smarter use of energy

Energy-Smart Facilities

Across the dealership and in our service bays, we work to reduce energy, water, and material consumption. LED lighting and efficiency upgrades help us keep the space bright and comfortable while using power more carefully.

Small habits, big impact

Recycling & Safer Products

We securely shred and recycle paper documents and look for more environmentally thoughtful products wherever practical, from cleaning supplies to everyday operational materials.
