Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Center Orland Park Auto Service and Maintenance Videos: When to Replace Your Wiper Blades

November 12, 2015

There are several critical factors that go into how often Orland Park car owners should replace their wiper blades. Of course, the more you use your wipers, the faster the blades will wear out – especially if you use them on an icy windshield. Whether it’s a lot of bugs and road grime from Illinois freeway  driving or lots of wet weather – your blades get a work out and start to wear.

But your wiper blades break down even when they aren’t used frequently. They are damaged by sunlight and temperature changes as well. The rubber in the blades can dry out and crack and eventually fall apart. Check your wipers: If they’re not doing their vital job, have them replaced.

Talk to your Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Center Orland Park technician about how you drive - we can advise you on the prime blades for your needs.
