FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -

AutoNation is offering a free service for teachers stretching into the opening month of school being back in session.

This week, AutoNation announced that it will offer teachers free vehicle sanitization at its dealerships from coast to coast Tuesday through Sept. 29.

The group said in a news release that teachers are encouraged to stop by any AutoNation store on Tuesdays for a free Clorox T360 sanitization treatment for their vehicle.

AutoNation said the process is meant to be easy as teachers can show their current teaching badge, or ID, “sit back and relax.” In less than 30 minutes, the company said they will drive off in their vehicles that have been sanitized with an EPA-approved disinfectant registered for use against COVID-19.

“AutoNation is committed to keeping America driving safe. So, while teachers are educating our children, AutoNation will do its parts to keep them driving safe,” AutoNation executive vice president and chief customer experience officer Marc Cannon said in a news release.

“We thank all of our teachers for their commitment to learning and education,” Cannon continued.

AutoNation also made this disclaimer:
