Commerce Auto Repair Auto Service and Maintenance Videos: Wiper Blades – Signs of Wear

February 19, 2016

90% of our driving decisions are based on vision. Anything that impedes your vision can impact your driving safety – including a dirty windshield. In that sense, your wiper blades are a key safety system. Most Commerce drivers wait until their wipers have failed before they replace them. Then they find themselves in a driving situation when they really need forward visibility only to discover that their wipers are worn or maybe even torn and can’t clear snow or rain from the windshield.

As a vital safety system, wiper blades should be replaced BEFORE they fail. Test your wipers at least once a month. If they are not doing the job, your friendly Commerce Auto Repair technician can replace them for you.
