How Often You Should Replace Windshield Wipers

Benefits of Windshield Wiper Replacement

Of all the parts on your car that need maintenance, the windshield wipers may not be the first that comes to mind. However, keeping up with regular recommended service is crucial. It can also avoid putting a dent in your bank account by avoiding more expensive car repairs later on. Safety is a critical reason to keep the wiper blades working soundly. The wipers are your main defense against the elements, including dust, rain, dirt, snow, and ice. When they are working properly, they will keep your windshield free and clear so that you can see out in all directions. If the wipers get worn out, they won't be able to clear residue from the windshield, which can obstruct your vision and lead to a higher risk of crashing your car. Another reason to keep the windshield wipers working properly is to avoid damaging the glass on the windshield. Broken windshield wipers can chip or scrape the glass on the windshield. This leads to cracks that can grow over time and cause the glass to break.

How Often Should I Replace My Windshield Wipers?

The rate at which you need to replace the wipers on your car varies. For most vehicles, the industry recommendation is a replacement once or twice a year. If you don't use the wipers often, you'll likely get away with just a once-yearly replacement. If you frequently use the wipers to clear ice, snow, rain, or dust from the windshield, however, your vehicle will need to have service more often. If your car also has a wiper in the back, it's essential to have that wiper changed at the same time for consistent quality and safety.
