All nine Jax Kar Wash locations will be offering free car washes to Veterans and Service Personnel this Veteran’s Day (Nov. 11) in conjunction with the Grace for Vets program.

The mission of Grace For Vets, a non-profit organization, is to "honor those who have served or are currently serving their country," according to a statement.

“This is a great way for the car wash industry to come together and give back to our community. We’re proud to have all nine of our locations participating in this great program,” said Jason Milen, VP Jax Kar Wash & Express Detailing. “We feel that it’s important to recognize and thank all of our Veterans and Service Personnel for their dedication to our country and the sacrifices they’ve made.”

From the program's first year in 2003 to today, more than 3,043,157 free washes have been given.
