Owner Peter Mueller says this is his way of saying thank-you to the men and women who have given so much to their country.
"This is the third year we have offered this to our veterans and last year we had 34 of them take up the offer," he said.
Mr Mueller said Pete's Car Wash has joined the international Grace for Vets program in offering the service.
"Giving away free car washes is the least we can do to give back to the people who helped keep Australia safe," Mr Mueller said.
Grace for Vets in a not-for-profit organisation.
"The program is simple and based on the honour system," Mr Mueller said.
"Just come along on Tuesday, November 11, tell us you are a veteran and you will receive a free car wash," he said.
Members of Orange sub-branch of the RSL will be selling red poppies towards the end of the week and they will also be available for sale on Remembrance Day at a ceremony at the cenotaph.
