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).

Kia Optima L4-2.4L - Brake Pedal vibrates or shakes - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
First I would like to say that as I personally did not meet Wayne as I was at work but he corresponded with my fiancee who advised that he was very professional and courtesy. I only have one complaint and I would have given him 5 stars but for the one complaint. He called and asked if he could come earlier which was nice. When he got there he called me since I was at work and explained the problem with my car which was the brake pedal was vibrating when you put your foot on the brake. He jacked the car up and saw that my rotors were warped. He called me and advised me of this and that they needed to be changed. My only complaint is that I would have appreciated it if he had asked if I wanted him to do the work today and if he had asked I would have said yes but I did not get that opportunity. I received his inspection report which I did like and his recommendations and which lists everything that he did and checked. So now I have to schedule another appointment to get the rotors/brake pads replaced.
