Automotive Tips from Tuffy Lake In The Hills: When to Replace Your Wiper Blades

January 26, 2020

There are several important factors that go into how often Lake In The Hills drivers 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 important job, have them replaced at Tuffy Lake In The Hills in Lake In The Hills.

Talk to your Tuffy Lake In The Hills service advisor about how you drive - we can counsel you on the optimal blades for your needs.
