How Often You Should Replace Windshield Wipers

Benefits of Windshield Wiper Replacement

Routine windshield wiper replacement will benefit both you and your vehicle. If you haven't had the wipers replaced in a while, here are some excellent reasons to consider taking your car in for an inspection. The windshield wipers are a critical component of your vehicle for safety. In many cases, the windshield wipers are the first line of defense against the elements. If you drive in snow, icy conditions, or rain, the windshield wipers keep the windshield clear so that you can see better. If the wipers aren't working, the windshield is prone to getting covered with dirt or residue, which can lower your visibility and make a crash more likely. Regular windshield wiper replacement can also save money on car repairs. Windshield wipers are relatively inexpensive to replace. That means it costs less money to change them as needed than paying for a car accident or paying for damage to the glass on the windshield that can result from wipers becoming damaged and cracked.

How Often Should I Replace My Windshield Wipers?

While there is no precise replacement schedule for your windshield wipers, most mechanics and auto manufacturers recommend replacing the wipers at least once annually, if not more. Most windshield wipers will have a lifespan of about 12 months in moderate conditions. If you live in a place with cold and harsh winters or gets a lot of rainfall throughout the year, the wiper blades may need to be changed more often, even twice annually. Along with going by the numbers, it's a good idea to bring your car in to have the wipers inspected after a long winter or if you notice signs that the wiper quality is deteriorating.
