FREE Car Wash for Veterans & Service Personnel @ 89 Locations Nationally on Remembrance Day 11/11

1530

Back again for another year and what a great gesture for our Veterans. Enjoy :)

What is Grace For Vets?

The mission of Grace For Vets, a non-profit organization, is to honor those who have served or are currently serving their country. This international program unites the car wash industry each year on November 11. Whether observing Veterans Day, Remembrance Day or Armistice Day, we unite together as a whole, and provide FREE car washes to ALL veterans and service personnel.

Founded in 2004 by a single car wash operator, the program has grown from just a handful of washes to several thousand, in 4 countries. The program's founder, Mike Mountz, was inducted into the International Carwash Association's Hall of Fame in 2010.

  • should you still give money even though its free?

    • why?

    • Just emailed wavescarwash.com.au to check, and got this response:

      "This year Waves didn’t promote the Vets day. However, if you visit site we’ll gladly honour a free exterior wash for you."

      Best check your local car wash before you go.

  • Thanks TA. I'll pass the word around work, I'll just need to get to Gunghalin first.

  • Will it include Homer & Peter?

    Visited a listed provider last year, they knocked me back. Emailed the organiser, no response. Awkward.

    • +1

      outrageous, name and shame!

    • +1

      Which car wash was that? Good idea to name so we don't make the same mistake…

      • He said he also email the organisers tho

  • Crooks

  • Dang, none in NT.

    • You telling me. I need my car washed .

      Luckily it the wet season, i'll just drive around in the rain.

    Like Mr Fox, I too am a Veteran (Army) with war service. I went to a listed carwash only to be humiliated. The staff had to call the owner who responded with "Free carwash ….not likely" Embarrassing although typical of the way a majority of Australian businesses honour Veterans.

  • Yeah as a former Sapper I don't see how this would go down. I rock up at a car wash and say "hey I'm a veteran, wash my car."

    Would probably be met with the same hostility as the Taliban!

  • Interesting idea but if you're not currently serving how can they prove you served? Do you have to show your medals?

    Will mention if to my hubby though - we have one nearby he might be interested in checking out.

    To save humiliation and embarrassment it would be great if said carwashes that will honour their agreement - fly the national flag on Nov 11 as a welcome sign for Veterans.

    • +1

      Or get some posters printed.

  • call before you go
