?About 90% of our Missouri driving decisions are based solely on what we see. So having a good pair of windshield wipers is extremely important. It seems like your wiper blades are always at their worst when you need them the most. 78% of drivers only change their wiper blades after the blades function so poorly that they become a safety hazard.

You really ought to replace your wiper blades at least once a year. In winter and freezing conditions, if your car has been sitting for a long time and the windshield becomes frozen, you should not use your wipers to clear off snow and ice. That can just shred your blades and may even damage the wiper motor. Your wiper blades live outside in the freezing cold and blistering sun. Over time, they become hard and brittle, and then tear (most noticeable at the ends). They also lose their flexibility and just don’t clear the windshield effectively. Worn wiper blades aren’t just a safety hazard; they can also scratch your windshield.

AUTOTECH AUTO CENTER recommend replacing worn blades right away. We can provide you with a quality replacement that cost about the same as they would at the store - but installation is included. We also recommend that you clean your wipers blades every time you get fuel, just dip a paper towel in the windshield cleaner found at the pump and wipe the rubber edge of all your wiper blades, don’t forget the rear blade!

Of course you also need washer fluid to help you blades do their work. Even though AUTOTECH AUTO CENTER will top off the washer fluid, it is a good idea to have some extra fluid available. Always use windshield washer fluid, plain water, just doesn’t cut it. It can freeze in the fluid reservoir or on the windshield itself, making things worse. Besides, water won’t do as good job of cleaning your window, Follow these tips to keep your windshield clear and your eye on the road.
