Autoglass is urging fleet managers to consider wiper maintenance to ensure driver safety, especially during the winter months, which bring more hours of darkness and poorer weather conditions

Jeremy Rochfort, national sales manager at Autoglass, said: “The optimum period for replacing blades is twelve months. Given the safety implications and the amount of miles fleet vehicles have to cover, we want to motivate motorists to ensure wipers are regularly checked and replaced to avoid safety risks.”

From now until 6pm on October 22, Autoglass is giving away free Bosch wiper blades and fitting to windscreen repair or replacement customers, highlighting the importance of clearer visibility when driving.

Windscreen wipers by Bosch are regularly voted the best and quietest in tests.
