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).

Michael showed up on time with a very friendly attitude. He was able to diagnose my issue quickly and didn't try and sell me on other services. He is an extremely competent and experienced mechanic and I will definitely use him in the future.

Chevrolet Classic L4-2.2L - Bleed Brakes - Snellville, Georgia
The problem was air in my brake lines. Tim bled the front two and about 80% of the problem was fixed. He examined the rear wheels and recommended replacing wheel cylinder, shoes and drums. When he punched in the numbers it came to $515. My guess he was having to use the model from the company. Total parts at Advance Auto would have been around $ 120-140, and considering a bout 1 hour to do the job for an experienced mechanic, the price should not have been more that $375. I should have received a little credit for only bleeding two lines, but I would have settled for $400 total anyway. I looked up the details in my Haynes. Wheel cylinder maybe 15 min each. Brake shoes 15 min total ( I could do them in 45 min) Drums pop on. Only difficulty would be parking brake add extra 10 min. Bleed and cleanup perhaps 10 more min. 1 Hr 10 Min $370 labor? A shop would not have charged that much. Brake places charge about $150 a wheel to rebuild. and would have cleaned the drums rather than replace. I believe in paying for what I get, but this job should not have been more that $400. And I don't think the quote is Tim's fault.
