About Grace For Vets
Honoring the men and women who have served our country — one free car wash at a time.
Our Mission
Grace For Vets was founded in 2003 by Mike Mountz. As a veteran and car wash operator in Pennsylvania, his mission has always been to give back to veterans who have sacrificed so much for our country.
This nonprofit organization is made up of thousands of participating car washes in the United States and abroad that give free car washes to veterans and active-duty personnel each Veterans Day.
“The mission of Grace For Vets is to honor veterans by providing them free car washes on Veterans Day every year. This program invites all car washes across the country, and even other countries, to join us in the effort to give back.”
