Dallas Windshield Wiper Replacement FAQ

1. How Do I Schedule an Appointment?

Once you select the service you need, select a time and date that works best with your schedule. 

2. What Should I Expect From a Service Appointment?

3. How Often Should I Change My Car’s Windshield Wipers?

The windshield wipers can start deteriorating quickly after six months of use or may last for up to a year. But you may need to replace the wipers sooner if you use them too often or drive in harsh weather.

As a practice, try to keep track of your windshield wiper replacements, so you know when it’s time to get new ones. 

4. Can I Only Replace the Wiper Rubber?

The windshield wiper blades have slots that hold the rubber part that glides over your windscreen. While you can replace just the rubber wiper, replacing the entire frame is much easier and doesn’t require any tools. 

5. What Are the Different Kinds of Wiper Blades? 

Wiper blades are available in different materials and designs, so you need to consider the options that will work best for you. These include:

• Conventional Wiper Blades: These are the most common type, featuring a metal frame and a rubber blade attached to it. They are quite affordable but have a comparatively shorter lifespan (about six months).
• Beam Wiper Blades: These blades are made from a solid piece of rubber, allowing them to wrap better around your windshield’s curvature. These last twice as long as the conventional ones.
• Hybrid Wiper Blades: These blades look quite similar to the beam wiper blades but feature a rubber-coated metal frame to offer durability and all-weather performance.
