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).

BMW 530i L6-3.0L - Ignition Coil - Dublin, California
Mechanic did the job that was request. The problem has to do with the final price. I originally got a quote on the web for $199.67 and since this is my first time I wasn't sure if I wanted to go through with this so I called the 800# to get additional information and they said I will get 10% off if I book with them while on the phone with the same quote I got the web so it would be 180.67 to replace ignition engine coil. But once the job was done, I got a final bill for $215.25 When I called the 800# to get an explanation of the bill, they said the quote on the job was $235 and with the 10% discount came to $215.25 It's odd that the quote became $235 when it was $180.67. Clearly this is bait and switch to increase the final quote so with the so called 10% discount came to the same amount as the quote I got on the internet. The 800 # representative tried to explain that their was check engine light check that was done which was $99. If that was the case the bill should have been $324 so that explanation made so sense. Furthermore, if that was the case, they needed to give me a new pricing quote and let me know the new price for me to authorize and agree on the price. That never happened so I know the phone reps explanation was totally made up. The mechanic was knowledgeable and did the job well. The company tactics are questionable and I would never use this company as this was clear marketing and bait and switch approach. Make sure you get the final quote before any service is performed so you don't get nay surprise with the final bill that is different than what was promised.
