WINDSHIELDWHIPER

 

Part of having the best visibility possible is to make sure that the windshield is clean and clear. The vehicle should overall be in proper working condition. It is important to go to regular maintenances to make sure that all parts and components of the vehicle are working at the most efficient level possible. If you notice any issues between visits, make sure to bring the vehicle in as soon as possible. This can help to provide you with a safe and reliable ride again.

 

Make sure to inspect the windshield for any damage that it might have. The windshield should be free of cracks, divots, or chips. If these line up in your field of vision, it could cause poor visibility when you drive. Fixing a chip early is beneficial because it can prevent a larger issue like a crack or break in the windshield later on. If the chip cannot be fixed, the windshield may need to be replaced. Having the windshield fixed as soon as possible can also help to prevent a costly repair bill in the future.

 

The windshield wipers should also be inspected. Check them for any tears or rips they might have. Ideally, the wipers should be replaced before winter. They can also be replaced after the winter months, where you will typically use them more. Having a clear view of your visibility is important when driving. If you notice that the wipers are not able to clean the windshield effectively, it could be a sign there is some damage to the wipers. If there are streaks or smear marks, it could mean that the blades of the wiper have been worn. To maximize the visibility, bring the vehicle in and we can inspect the blades. We can also replace them if they need to be.

 

Having the windshield wiper fluid at the proper amount is important. This can help to ensure you will have enough fluid when it is needed. This can help to clean off the windshield if it becomes dirty. It is important to check the fluid, as well as all fluids of the vehicle, on a regular basis. Having them topped off can help provide a more reliable vehicle when you drive. Make sure to use the correct type of washer fluid according to the time of the year. This can help prevent the windshield wiper fluid from freezing up. By improving the visibility when you drive, you also improve the safety of those around you, as well as your passengers.
