    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    On One Hand: Proper Maintenance

    Your windshield wiper blades are constantly exposed to the elements, and if you are not replacing them on a regular basis, at least yearly, you can end up with a safety hazard. The rubber on the blades degrades with sun exposure, salt and ice, and can become uneven. This makes it difficult for the blade to completely clean your windshield, leaving streaks that can be hazardous when driving in poor visibility conditions.

    On the Other: Auto Shop Add-ons

    Some garages attempt to add on replacement of windshield wiper blades with every oil change. This expense can add up over the course of a year. While it is necessary to change them at least once a year, unless you live in an area with frequent severe weather, more frequent replacement is not necessary.

    Bottom Line

    Proper car maintenance includes regular replacement of your windshield wiper blades. These blades are inexpensive, easy to replace and can provide you with numerous safety benefits. Aim to have them replaced at least once a year, or more if necessary.
