LEWES, Del.- For the eighth year in a row, Meineke Car Care Center in Lewes is honoring Veterans Day by offering free oil changes to all veterans and first responders.
The all-day affair also includes food, drinks, and activities such as cornhole for vets to take part in as their cars are serviced.
Owner Dave Repass says they typically do 300 free oil changes each Veterans Day.
"I don't have the honor to say I'm a veteran but I come from a very patriotic family," he says. "This is just something that I thought of that we could do for our veterans."
Repass says it's not just about servicing cars-- it's about connecting with the men and women who served our country.
My favorite part of the event is the veterans all coming together and sharing stories and being able to talk to each other," he tells WRDE.
Meineke Car Care Center also offers year-round discounts for veterans.
