How Often You Should Replace Windshield Wipers

Benefits of Windshield Wiper Replacement

From safety to savings, replacing the windshield wipers on your vehicle before they wear out is an essential part of car care. The wiper blades are easy to neglect when you think of all the parts that need regular upkeep. However, you'll certainly notice if the wipers are not working when you need them. The windshield wipers typically last about a year, but some need to be changed more often. No matter what brand you use and the car you drive, the windshield wipers have a starring role in vehicle safety. Windshield wipers remove ice, rain, snow, dirt, pollen, and other particles that tend to collect on the glass surface of the windshield. If the wipers can't remove debris from the windshield, you won't be able to see as well out the front. This can increase the likelihood of a car accident, and it can jeopardize the safety of other motorists on the road. Wiper blades also have a protective coating on the bottom that keeps the glass on the windshield from becoming scratched. If that protective layer wears off, the blades can scratch and damage the windshield.

How Often Should I Replace My Windshield Wipers?

When determining how often to change your car's wipers, you can either go by time or the condition of the blades. At a minimum, most vehicles will need to get the wiper blades replaced once a year. However, it's not uncommon for a car to need its wipers replaced every six months, and sometimes even more frequently than that. Checking to see what kind of shape your car's blades are in is simple. Just lift up the blades and run a finger along the edge. The edge should be smooth and not jagged or bumpy. If you notice uneven or worn edges, contact us for service.
