Automotive Guide for Appleton: When to Replace Your Wiper Blades

January 15, 2016

There are several essential factors that go into how often Appleton auto 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 Wisconsin highway  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 critical job, have them replaced.

Talk to your Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Center Appleton tech about how you drive - we can guide you on the optimal blades for your needs.
