Windshield wipers wiping raindrops

 

Savvy drivers from Seattle and beyond already know that keeping on top of windshield wiper changes is an important part of safe driving – especially in WA. However, it’s more than fair to ask “how often should I change my windshield wipers?” We’ll talk about that and a couple other wiper-related bits of knowledge in the quick guide below. You can easily contact us online to ask any questions you may have!

How Long Do Windshield Wipers Last?

How long do windshield wipers last? Well, like many products we consume, it varies by price and brand. Cheaper blades will last on the lower end of four to six months, while reinforced all-season windshield wiper blades boast a lifespan of up to a couple years, in some cases. For most mid-range wiper blades, depending on the amount of use, lifespan can last around 6-12 months. Next time you’re making a selection in windshield wiper blades, take the time to look through the labeling for the recommended change interval – don’t wait for poorly performing wipers, stay ahead of the game!

Don’t Wait For Bad Signs

It’s smart that you’re asking how often to change windshield wiper blades – it means that you’re looking to stay on top of the matter! It’s not smart, however, to wait for the telltale signs of bad wipers to have them changed. If you’re seeing streaks of leftover rain, or your windshield wiper blades are brittle, it’s well past time to have them changed!
