If your at a auto parts dealer they change them for free and batteries are cheap there too. Maybe it's because it's not a women thing to do?

Maybe dealerships can do this at no charge and make up for it by charging more for other things?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-86760399086321163822016-09-17T14:35:47.614-05:002016-09-17T14:35:47.614-05:00Thank you John David and Josiah for your tutorial!...Thank you John David and Josiah for your tutorial!

It may be simple to some people to change out the wiper blades but that isn't the case for everyone. My friend's husband changed out their blades himself. The next time it rained, she turned on the wipers and one of them went flying off.
