Attention Health Care Workers: Mazda Will Clean Your Car and Change the Oil for Free
Taking the lead from some of its dealer franchises offering similar services, Mazda is implementing a national program called the Essential Car Care initiative to offer free one-time car cleanings and oil changes to health care workers as a show of appreciation for their service, particularly during the current COVID-19 pandemic — and you don’t even have to drive a Mazda to qualify.
