Wiper Blade Replacements
Visibility is the most fundamental safety feature of any vehicle, yet it is often the most overlooked. Wiper blades are composed of specialized rubber compounds designed to remain flexible in extreme cold and maintain a streak free edge in the heat. Over time, UV exposure and environmental debris cause the rubber to crack, tear, or lose its tension, resulting in chattering or poor water clearance. We provide high quality blade replacements tailored to your vehicle’s specific arm design and windshield curvature. By ensuring your wipers are in peak condition, we help maintain the clarity of your vision during heavy rain and snow, while also protecting the glass from the scratches that occur when the underlying blade structure becomes exposed.
Wiper and Washer System Service
A reliable wiper system involves more than just the blades; it is a coordinated network of motors, linkages, and fluid delivery components. If your wipers are moving slowly, making excessive noise, or failing to park in the correct position, the underlying linkage or motor may be failing. Our wiper system service includes an inspection of the mechanical pivots and the clearing of debris from the cowl area to prevent water from backing up into the cabin. Furthermore, we service the washer system by checking the pump for proper pressure and ensuring the spray nozzles are correctly aimed and free of clogs. This comprehensive approach ensures that when you need to clear your windshield, the system responds instantly and effectively.
Integrated Sensors and Winter Readiness
In modern vehicles, the wiper system is often smart and integrated with other safety technologies.
Rain Sensor Calibration: Many luxury vehicles use an infrared sensor behind the rearview mirror to automatically trigger the wipers. If your windshield has been replaced or the sensor has become unbonded, the automatic feature may fail to respond correctly. We can verify and recalibrate these sensors to restore factory functionality.
Wiper Service Mode & Software: On many European cars, wipers are tucked under the hood line for aerodynamics and cannot be lifted manually without entering a Service Mode via the infotainment system or a specific stalk sequence. We ensure the system is handled correctly to avoid damaging the paint on the hood's edge.
Winterized Fluid and Nozzle Heating: For drivers in colder climates, we check the functionality of heated washer nozzles and ensure the system is filled with the correct seasonal fluid to prevent the lines from freezing and cracking during sub-zero temperatures.
