Windshield Wiper/Washer System Inspection

Windshield wiper and washer system inspection helps identify problems that prevent the wipers from clearing the windshield effectively or the washer system from delivering cleaning fluid. Faults such as worn wiper blades, a weak washer pump, clogged spray nozzles, damaged hoses, electrical issues, or a faulty wiper motor can reduce visibility during rain or when dust and dirt accumulate on the glass. During this inspection, a technician checks the wiper blades, arms, linkage, motor, switches, washer fluid reservoir, pump, hoses, nozzles, and electrical connections for signs of wear, damage, leaks, or malfunction. The technician tests the wiper speeds, intermittent settings, parking position, and washer spray pattern to assess overall system performance. Any identified faults are explained, and suitable repairs or replacements are recommended based on the inspection findings. Additional attention may be required if the windshield is damaged or the wiper mechanism has excessive wear. A thorough windshield wiper and washer system inspection helps identify problems early, maintain effective windshield cleaning, improve visibility in adverse weather, and support safer driving.

Clean Windshield Washer Tubes and Jets Inspection

The tubes that make up your windshield washer system are typically several feet long
and are connected directly to your windshield washer reservoir. These tubes are exposed
to all the elements that come from the open road and over time, these tubes will begin
to get clogged and dirty..
The jets are plastic nozzles that are located right at or near the middle of your hood.
These nozzles must spray the windshield washing solution at varying levels of your driving
speed. So cleaning these nozzles periodically is absolutely critical for the system to work.
Clean windshield washer tubes and jets allow you to quickly remove mud and other
impediments that would normally get stuck on your windshield. Some of the symptoms
that may make you think that the windshield washer tubes and jets are dirty may actually
be due to the other components of your windshield washer system. These can be
cleaned out as well if needed.
