Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Batavia Auto Service and Maintenance Videos: When to Replace Your Wiper Blades

November 4, 2015

There are several critical factors that go into how often Batavia car owners should replace their wiper blades. Of course, the more you use your wipers, the faster the blades will wear out – especially if you use them on an icy windshield. Whether it’s a lot of bugs and road grime from Illinois expressway  driving or lots of wet weather – your blades get a work out and start to wear.

But your wiper blades break down even when they aren’t used frequently. They are damaged by sunlight and temperature changes as well. The rubber in the blades can dry out and crack and eventually fall apart. Check your wipers: If they’re not doing their critical job, have them replaced.

Talk to your Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Batavia service advisor about how you drive - we can counsel you on the ideal blades for your needs.
