Fall in British Columbia means shorter days, wetter roads, and a greater need for clear visibility. Your windshield wipers are your first line of defence against streaks, smears, and reduced vision. Keeping them in top condition is one of the simplest, most effective safety steps you can take before rainy season hits.
And this fall, there’s an extra reason to make sure your windshield and wipers are ready. For September and October only, Kirmac is giving customers free wipers with any windshield repair or replacement.
Why Wipers Matter More in BC’s Rainy Seasons
BC’s diverse weather means your wipers work harder than almost anywhere else in Canada. Heavy rain in Vancouver, misty mornings in the Okanagan, and freezing rain in the Interior all put added strain on your blades. Even a small streak or smear can reduce your reaction time and make night driving more dangerous.
Signs Your Wipers Need Replacing
Not sure if it’s time? Watch for these warning signs:
Streaking or smearing when in use
Chattering or squeaking noises
Cracked, split, or brittle rubber
Blades skipping across the windshield
If you’ve noticed any of these, it’s a clear sign your wipers are due for replacement.
How Often to Replace Wipers in BC
Most manufacturers recommend replacing wipers every 6 to 12 months. In BC’s wet climate, many drivers choose to swap them out at the start of spring and again in the fall. Think of it as part of your seasonal vehicle prep, like checking your tires and topping up washer fluid.
Quick Maintenance Tips for Drivers
Clean your windshield regularly – grit and sap wear down wipers faster.
Wipe blades with a damp cloth once a month.
Lift wipers away from the windshield before an icy night.
Check alignment – blades should sit flush against the glass.
Wipers and Windshields: The Safety Connection
Healthy wipers only work well on a smooth surface. Chips and cracks can snag blades, wearing them down early and leaving distracting streaks. At Kirmac, we offer free chip repair across BC and glass replacement backed by our Limited Lifetime Guarantee.
Kirmac’s Fall Promo: Free Wipers
To help BC drivers get ready for fall, Kirmac is including a free set of windshield wipers with every windshield repair or replacement booked in September or October.
That means when you bring your car in for a chip fix or a full glass replacement, you’ll leave with new wipers at no extra cost. It’s an easy way to boost visibility and confidence on rainy BC roads.
Local Care That Gives Back
Every time you choose Kirmac, you’re also helping kids across BC. Through Kirmac Cares for Kids, a portion of every repair supports children’s health charities in our province. Safe driving and stronger communities go hand in hand.
From driveway to drop-off, trust Kirmac to keep you and your family safe this fall.
