What is the Windshield Washer Reservoir all about?

Windshield washers serve a simple yet extremely important purpose. A dirty windshield obstructs the driver’s view. They are important especially in very cold climates or in areas with a lot of dirt roads. The windshield washer reservoir holds the fluid that is sprayed onto the windshield. The windshield washer reservoir is usually made of a white, semi-transparent durable plastic and will often have a black or colored plastic cap. The capacity of the fluid reservoir depends on the make and model of your vehicle, but usually ranges from 1 to 1.5 gallons.

Keep in mind:

Frozen washer fluid is a big contributor to cracks in the reservoir.
Different washer fluids are approved for different seasons; make sure to use the correct season's fluid.
Repairs may slow the leaking, but most cracked reservoirs need to be replaced completely.

How it's done:

The vehicle hood is raised and secured in the open position
The windshield washer reservoir is unbolted from inner fender and removed
The washer lines are cleaned and flushed out
The new washer reservoir is connected and installed then filled with washer fluid
The wipers and washers are tested for proper operation

Our recommendation:

Read your owner's manual to see if the manufacturer suggests certain fluids for certain reservoirs. For example, the reservoir to headlight-mounted washers may only take non-freezing fluid as the headlights do not get as warm as the windshield in cool weather. Have one of our expert mechanics inspect the whole windshield washer system when inspecting the reservoir. A reservoir with a crack should be replaced.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Windshield Washer Reservoir?

Low or no pressure when activating the washers
Fluid leaking out from under the vehicle
Filling the reservoir more often than usual
Sprayers don’t spray far enough on the windshield or do not spray enough fluid

How important is this service?

This service is fairly important to the average driver and very important to those in cold climates or in areas with lots of dirt roads. Both road salt and ice can obstruct a windshield without anti-freezing washer fluid in the reservoir. Dust and mud can become too thick to wipe away with just the wipers.

Friendly and professional, Bereketeab arrived early and wasted no time getting started on my BMW 550i. Bereketeab did not break until he finished installing my ignition coils. Thank you so much, the car is running very smooth and you made a great first impression.

Though it took 3 visits for him to fix oil leak he seem to have done it. But in the process the windshield is broken which has to be fixed. And I have not driven the car yet. Have to drive and watch car for few days to see how it behaves. Then I will come me back and update this review again. For now looks good
