Windshield Wiper Service at Mac Haik Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Jackson

Windshield wipers certainly aren't the most complicated part of your vehicle, but that doesn't mean that they aren't vital to your safety as a driver. When the rain gets too heavy or when there's a stain blocking your view, you're going to want to solve that problem quickly, especially when moving at high speed. When you're around Meridian, Hattiesburg, or Olive Branch, and you're in need of a quick fix, the service department at Mac Haik Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Jackson has everything you need.

When Is It Time for New Windshield Wipers?

There are a couple of signs that your windshield wipers may be going bad. The easiest to spot is if you find them consistently squeaking or vibrating. The blades are designed to smoothly make their way across and back, so if they're having trouble, it may be a sign that they're slightly damaged. If you find that they streak or leave wet spots across your windshield, then that's another sign that they may not be in the greatest shape. You'll want to replace them somewhere between every six months to a year, but often you can ask about the state of your wipers when you get an oil change. The mechanic will know better than anyone if it's time.

What Happens If I Don't Replace Them?

When you're trying to save money, unexpected costs can be a thorn in your side. You may be wondering if it would just be easier to not replace them at all. If you decide to keep your current set, you may be subjecting yourself to hours of squeaking as you drive through the rain, and your visibility will likely be compromised. On top of this, the windshield wiper connects directly with the windshield itself, so if the part becomes damaged there is a chance that it can scratch the glass and lead to costlier repairs. If you find that you drive through rain, sleet, or snow consistently, you're going to want to have good wipers.

How Do I Keep Windshield Wiper Blades in Good Shape?

Prices can vary on wipers similar to how tires can cost different amounts depending on the branding. Once you don your vehicle with a new set, you'll want to get the most mileage possible out of them. When you use your new set, you're going to want to make sure that there is some kind of liquid between them and the screen itself. Whether there's enough rain or you end up using your cleaning fluid, this will prevent friction that can slowly tear away at them. If you find that there are items stuck on your windshield, remove them by hand before batting them away with the wipers as this is another easy cause of damage. With a little extra care, your new set will go a long way and keep you safely navigating the roads.
