Car Caress, along with more than 2,200 other car wash locations across the nation, will provide free car washes to veterans and current military service personnel from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 11.
The Grace For Vets FREE Wash Program takes place on Veterans Day (Tuesday, Nov. 11), and washes will be given rain or shine at:
- Car Caress, 1635 Haven Ave. Ocean City, NJ
- Car Caress II, 100 Stagecoach Road, Marmora, NJ.
The free washes are given to honor and recognize those who have or are serving in the armed forces.
Grace For Vets was founded by Mike Mountz, former owner of Cloister Wash & Lube, in Ephrata, Pa., in 2004.
Mountz vowed to find a way to honor veterans when he served and saw first-hand amputees and the seriously wounded at the Veterans Hospital in Valley Forge, PA.
Several years after opening his first car wash, he started the Grace For Vets FREE Wash Program. With the help of car washes across the country who participate, more and more military servicemen and women are recognized each year through this program.
“This day is not about the car wash operators who are providing the free washes, it’s about honoring and recognizing those that have and are serving and protecting our country,” Car Caress owner Brian Coggins said. “It’s an exciting and emotional day for everyone. Our management team and employees look forward to giving back to those that have given so much.”
