Starting April 16, Mazda North American Operations is providing free standard oil changes and enhanced cleaning services for U.S. health care workers at participating dealers in the nation.

The program, called Essential Car Care, is not limited to Mazda owners and is available for most makes and models from other manufacturers, a Mazda operations news release said.

“Supporting the communities where we live and work is rooted deeply in Mazda’s 100-year history. We are honored to give back to those dedicated to saving lives during this pandemic,” MNAO President Jeff Guyton said in the news release. “We understand the important role vehicles play in people’s lives, and by partnering with our dealer network, we hope to make a meaningful impact in communities around the country.”

Dealers participating in Mazda’s Essential Car Care initiative will provide enhanced cleanings of high-touch interior and exterior surfaces of vehicles using Mazda and EPA-approved cleansers, according to the news release. El Dorado Mazda, located at 2150 N. Central Expressway, McKinney, is one of the participating locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Mazda estimates it is investing a minimum of $5 million in service costs, according to the news release.


The program is available for health care workers from April 16 to May 4. They will be asked to share proof of occupation, such as a valid employment ID badge or a pay stub.
