Wouldn’t it be awesome if businesses in every sector picked up on Brandon Wells’ Let’s Roll project and offered their services free of charge or at a substantial discount to Veterans? ~Bill

U.S. military veterans can get a free oil change and car inspection Friday with a valid form of identification, thanks to the efforts of a Phoenix automotive shop owner.
Brandon Wells, owner of Big B’s Family Automotive, started a project named “Let’s Roll” auto care and will open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 10026 N. 13th St. in Phoenix to accommodate Valley veterans.
Big B’s Automotive teamed with several local businesses to pull the event together. O’Reilly Auto Parts donated a 55-gallon barrel of oil and oil filters, Baxter’s Cigars plans to give away free cigars, and Classic Crust Pizza and Frosted Frenzy Cupcakes will provide meals.
“My goal one day is to have this be a large, nationwide support organization for veterans through auto repair,” Wells said. “These men and women have defended our country and now many of them struggle to make ends meet, let alone to get their cars repaired to get to work every day.”
There will be live music, and Arizona Veterans Magazine representatives will be on hand.
Jim Covarrubias, a veteran and former lieutenant during the Vietnam War, joined the cause to also share art therapy with veterans. Click here to meet Jim and see some of his works of art.
Big B’s encourages veterans and civilians wanting to help to call ahead to schedule an appointment. Wells said he believes the crews will manage about two cars every 15 minutes.
