April Showers Bring… the Sudden Realization That Your Wipers Are Useless

Ah April — It’s as if we all woke up in Seattle or London overnight. And while we love the idea of April showers leading to May flowers, let’s be real—if your windshield wipers are streaking, or if your washer fluid is emptier than your motivation to do yard work, you’re in for a rough ride.

A Season of Change—For You and Your Car

We always talk about New Year’s resolutions as the time for fresh starts, but honestly, April is just as good. The change in weather inspires a change in habits—suddenly, you’re tackling those long-avoided house projects, washing the car (until the next round of pollen attacks), and maybe even considering planting flowers to prove to your neighbors that yes, you do have your life together.

So why not extend that energy to your car? A little spring refresh goes a long way, and your windshield wipers and washer fluid should be at the top of the list.

Windshield Wipers: The Unsung Heroes of Spring Survival

When’s the last time you changed your wipers? If your answer is, “Uh... I think before that one road trip? Or was it during the last Olympics?”—it’s time. Wiper blades wear out faster than you think, especially after winter’s abuse. If they’re skipping, streaking, or making that awful screeching noise that sends chills down your spine, they need to go.

And let’s not forget washer fluid! You never know when you’ll get hit with a sudden mud splash, rogue bug swarm, or unexpected pollen. Keeping your washer fluid topped off ensures you’re not blindly guessing where the road is when you should be seeing clearly.

Spring Forward with a Clear View

April might be known for its rainy, dreary days, but it’s also a season of rejuvenation. A time to refresh, reset, and get ready for the warmer, sunnier months ahead. Think of it as a mini New Year—only with better weather and fewer impossible diet resolutions.

So while you’re embracing this season of change, make sure your car is ready too. Swing by Joe Davis Autosport, and we’ll make sure your wipers and washer fluid are up to snuff. Because the only thing worse than April showers? Not being able to see through them.
