Money Saving Automotive Tips
Windshield Wipers
1.
When the time comes to replace your windshield wipers (usually every 12-14 months), the difference between replacing the insert instead of replacing the entire blade can save you money. Replacement blades can run anywhere from $15.00-$50.00 each, depending on brand.
At Bobby Rahal Honda, we will install inserts in your factory blades at a fraction of the cost. Labor is FREE and the cost of the insert is $5.30 each. This means you can have clear, safe visibility for as little as $10.60 plus tax. We have most inserts in stock so remember to ask for your wiper insert replacement when making your next service appointment.

Heavy use is hard on the wipers because dust, abrasives, road grime and bug juice wear away the cutting edge the blade needs to wipe cleanly. Even road dirt acts like an abrasive to wear away the flat surface necessary for a good squeegee effect.
If you want to extend the life of your inserts, cleaning the blade and windshield with rubbing alcohol every six months will remove road and airborne contaminants that, when present, produce friction and premature wiper wear.
