Why Do I Need Windshield Wiper Service?
We count on our windshield wipers a lot and rain can often strike without any notice at all. This is why it’s crucial that your wipers are working properly. Otherwise, you could find yourself struggling to clear your windshield, making it difficult to see and dangerous to drive.
How Often Do I Need to Replace My Windshield Wipers?
As a general rule of thumb, you should plan to replace your windshield wipers every 12 months. However, since we do get a lot of rain and have snowy winters, you may have to replace yours every six months. It’s important to keep an eye on yours to see when a replacement is necessary.
