April is National Car Care Month, and we are here to answer your vehicle service questions at Conicelli! You may have wondered how often you should be replacing your windshield wipers. If you have ever searched this question, you have probably gotten a wide variety of answers and still weren't sure what to do. Learning when to change your blades can save you money, keep you safer, and prevent you from damaging your windshield glass.
It is recommended that you change your blades on a schedule but here are some signs that it may be time to replace your wipers:
- Squeaking noises - your wipers should glide cleanly across a wet surface, if not the silicone could be damaged
- Vibration or chattering noises - a jerking or chattering sound happens when your wiper is moving at an uneven rate
- Excessive streaking - streaks indicate part of the blade has worn away
- Wet spots - even more extreme than streaking, this could mean that the blade has torn to the point where it no longer wipes away moisture
If your vehicle is showing any these signs of damaged windshield wipers, Conicelli is here to help! Visit ConicelliService.com or call 888-289-5948 to schedule your service appointment today!
