How Often You Should Replace Windshield Wipers

Benefits of Replacing Your Windshield Wipers

An item that vehicle owners often forget about is a big part of vehicle safety; your windshield wipers need to be replaced periodically. Like many other parts of your automobile, your windshield wipers will wear down over time. They can start to crack, rip or malfunction entirely. It's essential to have the wipers replaced as soon as you notice an issue. Otherwise, you could damage your windshield or vehicle. We take a look at your windshield wipers when we're performing an inspection or doing routine maintenance. We'll let you know if this is something you should take care of.

How Often Should I Replace My Windshield Wiper Blades?

While your owner's manual may give you a general time frame of when your windshield wipers should be replaced, the frequency will vary. There may be certain times of the year when you use your wipers more often than others. This is going to lead to premature wear and tear. The quality of the wiper blades you use will also determine how frequently you should replace them. In colder climates, there may be the need for seasonal wiper blades to deal with the slush, snow, and ice that's present.
