Windshield Wiper Service Near Eastland, TX

Windshield Wiper Service & Replacement at Stanley Ford Eastland

One of the least expensive yet most important components to your safety is your wipers, a simple often neglected system we take for granted. Your wipers are directly related to your safety because they help provide a clear field of vision when you drive around Cisco, Ranger, and Eastland.
Your windshield wiper system cleans your window when dust, dirt, pollen, and other materials accumulate on your windshield. The four parts of the wipers include the cowls, the covers, the blades, and the arms. This is one of the least complex systems on your car, but it is important to take care of them. Our service department at Stanley Ford Eastland can help with our wiper services.

How Often Should Windshield Wipers Be Serviced?

Your owner’s manual provides the manufacturer-recommended service and replacement schedule to keep you on track with your wipers. On average, most manufacturers say between six and twelve months, but there are some instances where it may need to be done more frequently as explained below.

Storage Impact- If your vehicle sits out in your driveway with no cover or protection, the UV radiation from the sun will eventually begin breaking down your rubber blades.
Environmental Impact- Where you live makes a difference. In areas of extreme heat and extreme cold, your wipers will soften in the heat and get brittle in the cold. Dryness plays a role too. In areas where there is both heat and cold, your wipers will expand and contract and get brittle and ineffective.
Frequency of Use – If you live in an area where you must use your wipers more frequently, wear and tear will occur sooner.

How Do I Know If My Wipers Are Damaged?

In extreme conditions, your wipers get damaged, but there are some tell-tale signs that they need to be replaced, like streaking, squeaking, noise, and wetness.

Streaking occurs when your wiper blades are beginning to wear out, instead of sliding across the windshield and leaving a clean surface they leave streaks behind.
Squeaking happens when parts of the wipers are wearing out. The noise can indicate the rubber or silicone is damaged, or worse there are areas of exposed metal digging into your windshield leaving scratches.
You might hear chattering noises, or your blades may vibrate or jerk, which indicates uneven blades or that there are gaps in the blade that do not permit contact with the windshield.
Finally, wetness remaining on your windshield when it is raining means there are gaps, holes, or weak areas in the blade edge that are simply not cleaning off the windshield.

If you notice signs like these described above, you need wiper service.
Bring your vehicle by Stanley Ford Eastland and let our certified mechanics get to work on your windshield wipers to keep you safe. Our technicians will check out your wipers and let you know what needs to be done to fix the problem. While you’re at it, ask your technician to perform other maintenance like tire and wheel service, oil change service, brake service, or more so we can keep you safely on the road.
