GREENSBURG, Pa. — It's a tough time for first responders so a car wash in Westmoreland County has come up with a way to say thank you to them for all they do.
The owner of DeGennaro's Car Wash is offering quite the special: free car washes for first responders. It's his way of giving back.
For the last 80 days, Joe DeGennaro, 79, says he's opened his car wash, on Route 119 in South Greensburg, often working as a one man band.
