Trico says you should replace your wiper blades with every service
Checking wiper blade wear is an integral part of ensuring the safety of your customers’ cars during each service visit.
This is an often overlooked service item that is just as imperative as we head into the upcoming winter season.
As experienced during the summer vacation season, there is a significant increase in people choosing to take road vacations rather than fly far away. This means more driving, and usually in all types of weather and heavy traffic conditions.
In most cases, a motorist is unaware of the state of wear of his wiper blades until the time comes when he needs them most.
To ensure that your customers are never in this dangerous position, regular replacement of your wiper blades in line with each service interval is essential.
Wiper blade wear can occur within a six-month time period and even less in some high-mileage cases due to exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays, rubber-deteriorating oils collected from vehicle exhaust. Multiple vehicles, dirt and sandblasting at highway speed.
Prolonged periods of dry heat followed by extreme cold and wet conditions can also cause premature wiper blade wear.
Preparing your customers’ cars for the long and wet winter season ahead is essential to ensure clear visibility from inclement weather and increased road safety.
Automotive technicians can also use their knowledge to advise when conventional wiper blade frames need to be replaced as well, as these important wiper components are also subject to wear.
Adapters and assemblies wear out over time and can hinder wiper performance, regardless of the condition of the rubber filler. A motorist is less likely to be aware of this potentially dangerous problem if they replace their own wiper blades.
In addition to adding service value to your customers by professionally replacing worn wiper blades, it also represents an additional revenue opportunity for your business and also eliminates the need for your customers to locate, misselect and incorrectly adjust wiper blades themselves.
