Professional Auto Maintenance at Sovel's Auto Service: Wiper Blades – Signs of Wear
November 26, 2015
90% of our driving decisions are based on vision. Anything that impedes your vision can influence your driving safety – including a dirty windshield. In that sense, your wiper blades are a critical safety system. Most Novi car owners wait until their wipers have failed before they replace them. Then they find themselves in a driving situation when they really need forward visibility only to discover that their wipers are worn or maybe even torn and can’t clear snow or rain from the windshield.
As a critical safety system, wiper blades should be replaced BEFORE they fail. Test your wipers at least once a month. If they are not doing the job, your friendly Sovel's Auto Service service professional can replace them for you.
