Check wiper blades for an easy sales opportunity, expert advises

Original equipment manufacturer, TRICO is encouraging garages to check the overall condition of all vehicles that enter the workshop in a bid to tackle dangerous vehicle faults and potentially lead to new sales opportunities.

The wiper blade firm advises technicians not to forget about wiper blades and to check every vehicle while undertaking any kind of repair or serive.

TRICO’s senior brand and product manager, Sam Robinson, said: “Even though they’re safety critical items, wiper blades can often be overlooked by technicians and, because they wear gradually, their performance rarely considered by drivers.

“However, when it rains, they are completely reliant on their wipers to clear the screen and provide the vision they need to drive safely and so they should be checked regularly and replaced when necessary, although we’d recommend a new set at least once a year, irrespective of their condition.

“Drivers do not rush to a workshop for new wiper blades at the best of times, so, particularly in light of the drop off in MOT tests, technicians need to be proactive.

“They are not expensive items and once highlighted of the facts, drivers are generally willing to have them replaced, which is where we step in to provide the premium quality products required.

“By fitting a pair of our OE quality wiper blades, selected from a wide range of options including conventional, hybrid, beam and rear, technicians and drivers can be assured of their effectiveness and reliability in any situation.”
