The average price difference is around 25%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Type of replacement parts:<\/strong> The general rule of thumb is that OEM replacement parts are more expensive than aftermarket alternatives.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Popular brands and vehicles are more likely to have an ample supply of replacement parts available to the mechanic, while rare or discontinued models may require extensive supply chain sourcing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Time spent on repairs:<\/strong> Some vehicles can be very challenging to access and replace the wiper motor, including hybrids, EVs, luxury performance cars, trucks and SUVs. This results in more labor hours being charged to the customer.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Domestic or import sedan or coupe average: 2 hours of labor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Luxury, European, or performance vehicle average: 4 hours of labor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vehicle make, model and year<\/strong>: A general rule of thumb is that domestic vehicles typically cost less to repair than imports, while luxury brands command premium prices for both parts and labor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Specialty tools required<\/strong>: Some vehicles need specific diagnostic equipment or removal tools that add to shop overhead costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Repair shop type<\/strong>: Dealerships offer expertise and warranty coverage but charge premium rates for basic mechanical repairs, like a wiper windshield motor repair. Local independent general mechanic shops typically offer competitive pricing, but they may not provide warranties or the same level of quality as a brand-specific specialist in repair or replacement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"services-and-associated-parts\">Related services and associated parts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The windshield wiper system involves multiple, independent components to function safely and effectively. If you\u2019re going to have the wiper motor repaired or replaced, it\u2019s wise to consider bundling other parts and pieces to the repair to ensure your wipers operate as intended when you leave the mechanic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bundling these repairs may not save you a lot of money upfront, as each replacement is billed as an individual service. The main savings to you will be reducing future repairs by being proactive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few other services we\u2019d recommend adding on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Wiper fluid pump and housing:<\/strong> Your wiper fluid container or housing is made of high-strength plastic. However, it can crack over time, and hoses attached to this container can begin to leak. Ask your mechanic for an estimate for installing a new wiper fluid housing, the hoses and possibly the pump.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wiper motor arms &amp; linkage:<\/strong> If the electrical motor that operates the wiper blades is being repaired and not replaced, it\u2019s a good idea to ask the mechanic to also replace the arms and linkage that operate the wiper blades, as these parts typically wear out at the same time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh wiper blades: <\/strong>It\u2019s recommended by most auto manufacturers that you replace your windshield wiper blades every six months (and the cost of replacing new blades is minimal).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"windshield-wiper-motor-repair\">Can I repair a windshield wiper motor myself?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t recommend attempting to repair your own windshield wiper motor unless you\u2019re experienced in diagnostics or electrical repairs and have plenty of patience. This type of repair is classified as intermediate, meaning you should have experience with hand tools and working in tight spaces.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the physical process of removing the wiper motor and replacing it with a new unit is intermediate in terms of mechanical skill, accessing it and ensuring you\u2019re making the proper repairs is more problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main issue DIY enthusiasts experience is the removal of ancillary components like the dashboard, trim pieces, fuel system filters or engine covers. If the issue is related to an electrical fault, like the aforementioned relay or fuses, you\u2019ll also need a multimeter and an electrical system diagram for your specific vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding to the complexity and risk of DIY repairs is the potential of damaging the Electrical Control Unit (ECU) or control module. A faulty electrical connection can quickly send trouble codes to the ECU and turn off other electrical systems such as brake lights, turn signals and some safety systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the ECU is damaged, the repair can only be completed by a certified dealership, as these systems are extremely complex and require advanced diagnostic tools to identify root issues. On average, the replacement cost will exceed a minimum of $1,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"whats-involved-in-a-windshield-wiper-motor-repair-job\">What&#8217;s involved in a windshield wiper motor repair job?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the technician has determined that your windshield wiper motor is damaged, they will guide you to a replacement instead of trying to repair individual components within the housing unit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the mechanic determines that the wiper motor needs to be replaced, most repair shops will charge between two &#8211; four hours of labor for this job. Repairs to electrical supporting parts, like relays or fuses, will typically be charged at one to two hours.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every experienced mechanic knows the value of sticking to a dedicated process when diagnosing, repairing and testing automotive issues. While individual brands, makes and models have unique best practices, general wiper motor replacement follows a systematic process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1 \u2014 Disable electrical system:<\/strong> Before any repairs are started, the electrical system must be disabled for the technician\u2019s safety and to reduce the potential of other electrical faults being created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2 \u2014 Removal of damaged components:<\/strong> If the motor is indeed damaged, the mechanic will likely recommend replacing the entire unit. They will remove any supporting components to ensure they can easily access the wiper motor and complete the replacement efficiently. This variable will impact the labor hours charged.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If the repair involves additional labor to remove and reinstall additional components, it&#8217;s not uncommon for the shop to add an additional two &#8211; four additional hours of labor.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3 \u2014 Reassembly: <\/strong>In reverse order, the mechanic will reinstall all parts and pieces to ensure all fasteners and trim pieces are secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4 \u2014 Functional testing: <\/strong>The final step is testing the complete wiper motor system from the driver\u2019s point of view. This verifies proper operation at all speeds and positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"where-can-I-get-a-wiper-motor-repair-done\">Where can I get a wiper motor repair done?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding the right shop for wiper motor repair requires balancing cost, convenience and quality considerations. Whether this comes from your individual research or pre-vetted referrals from experts in the industry, choosing the right mechanic is vital to ensure the repairs are done correctly the first time. Here are some insider tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you have a trusted mechanic who knows your car, start by visiting them for a repair estimate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you don\u2019t have a trusted shop, use a search engine to find a local mechanic who lists windshield wiper motor repairs as one of their services. Check their Google My Business Consumer reviews and specifically search for pricing, quality of service and experience working on your specific type of vehicle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always get quotes from at least two different shops, including a dealership that services and sells your brand of vehicle. This will provide a good comparison of a similar scope of work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>That said, don\u2019t always choose the lowest price. In many situations, choosing the cheapest option will result in poor quality repairs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/signup\/garageonlystart?service=garage&amp;flowType=repairShop\">Get a repair quote<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"!mbs-12 !mbe-12 wp-block-jerry-faqs\">\n  <!-- Title -->\n    <h2 class=\"medium-title text-black mb-1.5 pt-12 uppercase\">\n    FAQs  <\/h2>\n  \n  <!-- Accordion -->\n  \n<div class=\"max-w-screen-lg my-6 [&amp;_li:last-child]:border-b-0\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-jerry-accordion\">\n<li class=\"font-circular flex cursor-pointer list-none flex-col items-start gap-1 border-b border-zinc-200 py-6 text-lg text-slate-500 md:flex-row md:gap-5 wp-block-jerry-accordion-item\" data-wp-interactive=\"accordion-item\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.onInit\">\n  <!-- Accessory -->\n  \n  <div class=\"flex flex-1 flex-col text-gray-600\">\n    <div class=\"flex flex-row items-start justify-between gap-4\">\n      <!-- Title -->\n      <span class=\"accordion-q align-middle text-black font-medium\">\n        Can I drive with a faulty wiper motor?      <\/span>\n\n      <!-- Icon -->\n      <span class=\"accordion-i text-black font-medium mr-4 mt-1 shrink-0 align-middle transition iconify i--chevron-down\"><\/span>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- Content -->\n    \n<div class=\"jerry-block-content accordion-a mt-5 hidden\">\n<p>No. Remember, wiper blades are a safety system and driving without them in rain or snow is dangerous for you and everyone else on the road.

However, constant rain and snow, extreme cold, frequent use and poor maintenance, especially leaving old wiper blades on too long, can shorten this lifespan significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>A few warning signs of potential wiper motor failure include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Inconsistent wiper speed. If the wipers vary in speed without changing the settings on the switch, the motor might be wearing out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wiper chattering. This warning sign can alert you to a motor that is wearing out, damaged wiper blades or a pitted windshield (damaged due to road debris).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inconsistent operation. If you turn the wiper switch on and the blades don&#8217;t move, but then turn the switch on and off again, and they start to work again, this could be the motor or the wiper switch that is starting to fail.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n  <!-- Contact link -->\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jerry-meet-experts\" data-wp-interactive=\"jerry\/meet-experts\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;modalVisible&quot;:false}\">\n  <div class=\"font-circular text-2xl font-extrabold text-slate-900\">Expert-driven.
