Wiper blades may seem like a small part of your vehicle, but they are a very important part! Replacing your windshield wipers often is crucial for maintaining your visibility and overall safety while driving especially during a rainstorm. It is recommended to replace your windshield wipers twice a year – in the fall and spring. That way they are ready to take on the fierce winter weather and spring rains with confidence. Here at Hilltop Tire Service, your local auto repair service shop, we are replacing windshield wipers every day. It’s a quick, inexpensive component to replace compared to the risks you may face if you don’t replace them.

Approximately 90% of our driving decisions are based on vision. Anything that hinders your vision while driving can affect your driving safety – even a dirty windshield. Not only is it dangerous to be driving in a rainstorm without a good set of wiper blades on, but it can also be very costly. Worn or damaged wipers can scratch your windshield leaving you with hefty windshield repair bills as well.

As an important safety precaution, wiper blades should be replaced before they fail. It’s a good idea to test your wiper blades regularly. If they are not doing their job, your friendly and knowledgeable service advisor at Hilltop Tire and Auto Service can replace them for you.
