What is the Wiper Gearbox all about?

Your windshield wipers remove water, snow and other impediments, allowing you to see the road ahead clearly. Windshield wiper systems require linkages and a gearbox to drive them at the preset rate (intermittent, low, high, etc.). It is generally located at the base of the windshield, under the hood and the cowling. The gearbox is directly connected to the wiper arm linkage that causes the windshield wiper pivots to turn and wipe the window. The gears inside the gearbox are subject to wear, though the usual failure is due to operation with excess weight on the wiper arms such as snow. This causes the internal gears to bind, bend or strip.

Keep in mind:

  • Once a gearbox sees significant wear, wipers will not function optimally and eventually stop working altogether.
  • Replacing the wiper blades is a good idea anytime a wiper system component needs repair.

How it's done:

  • The wiper arms are removed from the wiper gear box
  • The cowl is removed to access the wiper gear box
  • The defective wiper gear box is removed and the new one installed
  • The cowl is reinstalled and the wiper arms are installed onto the gear box
  • The wipers are tested to work in all positions

Our recommendation:

The wiper gearbox is a sealed system and cannot be serviced in most instances. When it malfunctions or show signs of failure, replacement is necessary. Have one of our expert mechanics look at it to ensure a smooth replacement and to professionally inspect wiper arm linkages and other system components.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Wiper Gearbox?

  • Windshield wipers operate intermittently or not at all
  • Wiper speed is inaccurate or inconsistent

How important is this service?

Because your windshield wipers are responsible for ensuring a clear view of the road during inclement weather, it’s important to have the wiper gearbox replaced when wear and tear begins to take a toll. We recommend having the problem first diagnosed by one of our expert mechanics, who will determine if the issue is the switch, the gearbox, or the relay, and inspect the rest of the wiper system (including linkages and wiper arms).

He was late on the original day of the repair and I had to wait almost an entire week to get things taken care of from then on.

BMW 328i L6-3.0L - Brake Pads Replacement (Front) - Shawnee Mission, Kansas
This was my first time using "Your Mechanic". I found the website when shopping for new brake pads. My dealership wanted hundreds more. Local mechanics wanted me to waste a half day or better just to get a price quote. On a leap of faith I gave this seemingly to-good-to-be-true company a shot. I booked an appointment, surrendered my credit card info and hoped for the best. Immediately, my appointment was confirmed with time, date, original quote, Andy's information and everything else I needed. The next day, Andy called ahead on his way. When he arrived, he located my car in the lot, explained the process and answered all my questions. I handed over my key and walked back to my office fully expecting a call in a couple hours to tell me home much more work needed to be done and that my estimated cost would be twice as high. What happened was: Andy finished early, called me down, walked me through everything he had done. Only after I was fully informed and satisfied did he ask me to review the invoice and sign - for LESS than the original quote. Now, only by a few dollars, but still less! In addition to LOWERING the cost and finishing early, I was emailed a link to a VISUAL and VERBAL inspection report, a written quote I had asked for regarding another area on my car and his advice regarding that work. Now relieved and beginning to believe this service was legit I began to praise Andy and his company. I shared how many people were looking down from our offices wondering what was going on with my car. I explained I would be sharing this experience with all of them and writing his review online and sharing all over social media. Andy is polite, patient and professional. He put me at ease right away. His empathy and knowledge made me feel I had made the right decision from the very beginning. Your Mechanic is my first call going forward. Check out their services and reviews. This is the future of vehicle maintenance and repairs. Thank you, Andy - job exceptionally well done! Chuck from Kansas City, MO
