The study answered two research questions and tested two null hypotheses at .05 level of significance. A sequential explanatory mixed method design was used for the study and a total of885 copies of the questionnaire were completely filled by automobile mechanics, automobile users and technical staff of environmental agencies and were used for the analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics version 20. Mean and standard deviations were used for the research questions, while independent sample t-test and ANOVA was used to test the hypotheses. Turkey HSD was also used as Post Hoc test for the rejected hypothesis. The research questions were ranked for the purpose of assessing the relative priorities. Some of the findings of the study revealed that: state environmental agencies are not monitoring the activities of automobile mechanics, automobile mechanics and automobile users are not storing oily absorbents and grease according to environmental regulations and are not trained in emergency preparedness against chemical hazard, rules and regulations governing automobile waste collection and disposal are not effectively enforced in the state, automobile waste generated are rarely in compliance with environmental regulations.enArticle
