Windshield Wiper and Headlight Services

The condition of your windshield wipers and lights directly impact your safety when driving. Kwik Kar® offers drop-in windshield wiper blade and headlight replacement services to help maintain visibility on the road.

Windshield Wiper Inspection Services

Sunlight, ozone, and oxidation degrade the rubber on your wiper blades, interfering with their ability to clear rain, snow, bugs, and other debris from your windshield. A Kwik Kar technician visually inspects your windshield wipers when you come in for a full-service oil change.

Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement Services

When you need to replace wiper blades, drop by Kwik Kar. Changing wiper blades only takes a few minutes and can significantly improve your vision in rainy or snowy conditions.

Headlight and Brake Light Replacement Services

When your headlights and other light bulbs work correctly, they reduce the chances of an accident by making your vehicle visible and your intentions to turn, stop, or signal a hazard known. That’s why changing headlights and other bulbs is essential when they burn out or lose their brightness. Kwik Kar offers headlight and brake light bulb replacement services to help keep you safe on the road.

Signs Your Wiper Blades Need to Be Replaced

  • Streaks or smears on your windshield caused by wiper blades failing to make proper contact with the glass. 
  • Wiper blades are bent and miss clearing parts of the windshield. Hot weather can cause blades to bend. 
  • Wiper blades squeak when in use. 
  • Blades are cracked or brittle.
  • Wiper blade rubber has peeled away from the blade.
  • Windshield wipers shudder when in use.

How Often Do Wiper Blades Need to Be Replaced?

How often you need to replace wiper blades depends on environmental factors. In temperate climates, windshield wipers typically last a year, while wiper blades in extremely hot or cold environments may need replacing every six months. Wiper blade quality also counts; high-quality blades can last up to two years in temperate climates.

Signs Your Headlights or Brake Lights Need to Be Replaced

  • Flickering bulbs
  • Burned out bulbs
  • Dim, “foggy” headlights
  • A loss of high beams
  • Physical damage to the lends or bulb
  • Yellow tint to headlight beams

How Often Do Headlights Need to Be Replaced?

Unless they show signs of damage or fail to produce sufficient light, standard headlights typically last 5 – 6 years. Light bulb lifespan also depends on the brand: some premium aftermarket headlights need replacing after two years or less.
