We’ve all been there; you’re out driving, and suddenly the weather shifts. You go to clear your windshield so you can see, but the windshield wiper blades only leave unpleasant streaks. It’s a frustrating situation and can even be a dangerous one, and it means it’s high time to get a wiper blade replacement in Evanston, IL.
Aside from the obvious streaking that occurs when you use worn-out wiper blades during rain or snow, there are other signs indicating it’s time for a change. These include squeaking or other unpleasant noises, residue and/or debris that gets left on the windshield, visibly worn wiper blades, and of course, a set that just no longer whisks away water and snow as well as they once used to. Likewise, it’s a good idea to at least get your wiper blades checked if you notice any looseness, grinding sounds, or other things that indicate something may be wrong.
If you’ve lived in Evanston, IL, for even a few seasons, you know just how sudden and surprising the weather here can be. We get plenty of rain and snow, and having a good set of wiper blades doing their job is crucial to driving safely throughout the year. Even if you don’t notice any obvious signs that they are wearing out, it’s important to replace your Volkswagen windshield wipers on a timely basis to prevent unwanted (and potentially dangerous surprises). In fact, Volkswagen recommends that wiper blades be replaced at least every 10,000 miles or once a year (if not sooner) to be safe.
The best parts for your vehicle are always going to be specially designed for it (OEM parts), and Volkswagen windshield wipers are no exception. Not only will they be the best fit, but they are most likely to last. This is why going to a certified Volkswagen mechanic, like our team here at City Volkswagen of Evanston, for even basic maintenance needs is important.
Wait too long to get your old wiper blades swapped out for some new ones, and you could find yourself suddenly unable to see when inclement weather hits. At City Volkswagen of Evanston, we’re Volkswagen drivers ourselves, and we know what it takes to keep you running safely and reliably. Give us a call to schedule your windshield wiper blade replacement by itself or alongside another service (like an oil change) for convenience. And of course, please don’t hesitate to ask us questions!
