How much does it cost to replace windshield wipers?
The wipers in my Subaru are worn out, and I need to replace them. How much does it cost to replace windshield wipers?
Rachel Rigolino · Updated on

While several factors can affect the cost to replace windshield wipers, the average cost is around $50 if you go to a professional mechanic. Labor may run you about $25 while parts will average around $25.
There are two good alternatives to going to a mechanic to replace windshield wipers:
- Learning to replace windshield wipers yourself.
- Getting them installed for free at a local auto supply store, provided you buy the wipers there
Your first step will be to identify the size wipers you need for your Subaru. When searching for wiper sizes, you need to know a car’s specific make, model, and year. Thankfully, all you need to do is type this information into a searchable database—either online or while in the store.
The next step will be to choose the precise type of windshield wiper you want. Depending on what features you’re looking for, prices can range from about $11 to $40 per blade.
If you want to replace the wipers yourself, it’s pretty straightforward:
- Take off the old blade by lifting the arm, turning the blade perpendicular to the arm, and gently popping the blade off the tab and sliding it off the arm.
- Put on the new blade by sliding the new blade onto the wiper arm and clicking it into place.
