Question 1

How often do I need to replace my car windshield wiper blades?

Accepted Answer

Timing can vary depending on several factors, such as weather and usage, but we suggest replacing windshield wiper blades at least every six months.

Question 2

Can I replace car windshield wiper blades myself?

Accepted Answer

You can replace your windshield wiper blades, but some replacements can be more difficult to change than others. The three most common fits of wiper blades are the J hook, the bayonet, and the side post. All three come in a wide range of sizes. To figure out which size will fit your vehicle, consult your vehicle owner’s manual. If you don’t feel comfortable doing it yourself, have one of our automotive technicians near you do it for free.
