About those Windshield Wipers: Tips and Care

Bad Time to Make an Important Discovery

In a study regarding the relationship between visibility and car crashes, the International Association of Traffic and Safety Sciences found that low visibility for drivers correlates to an increase in accidents. This information highlights the need for windshield wipers that are in good condition and proper working order. When you’re driving in a torrential downpour is a bad time to discover that your windshield wipers aren’t up to par. Before that happens, visit Integrity Automotive in Williamstown, New Jersey, for a wiper check and all your other auto repair needs. We’ve been helping motorists improve their visibility since 1999.

The Specifics of Care and Selection

Some car owners think that wiper blades wear out only if they frequently drive in rain. This is simply not accurate. Drive in a wet area? Yes, the blades see a lot of general wear and tear from use. Operate in a dryer climate? Those dormant wipers tend to fall victim to drying and cracking. The solution? Keep a close check on them with period inspection so that you can replace them as needed instead of making an unpleasant and perhaps dangerous discovery when you really need your windshield wipers to work well. When it’s time for new ones, we have a few tips. Be sure you’re buying the correct size for your vehicle. We can assist you with finding the proper fit, and your owner’s manual also provides guidance. Also, it’s best to buy them in pairs. If one is in poor condition, it’s likely that the other one will shortly show similar signs. Further, buying the entire wiper assembly is often best, not just replacement blades. Finally, seeing is vital to driving, so buy high-quality wipers. Saving money is usually a good practice, but pinching pennies to the detriment of your visibility isn’t.
