Help Ensure your View from the Driver’s Seat is Clear and Well-Lit

When you're behind the wheel, a clear view of the road is non-negotiable. It's not just about what you can see, but also about making sure other drivers can see you. Keeping your vehicle's lights and wipers in top shape is a simple but crucial part of road safety.

Let There Be Light
Think of your car's exterior lights as a conversation between you and other drivers. Your headlights illuminate the path ahead, but your taillights, brake lights, and turn signals are just as important. They communicate your intentions—whether you're slowing down, turning, or simply there. If a light is out, that conversation gets cut short, creating a potential hazard.

At Jiffy Lube, we can inspect and test all your exterior lights. If a bulb is out, we can replace it quickly, helping to ensure your car is always seen on the road.

Wipe Away the Haze
Nothing is more frustrating or dangerous than driving with streaky or skipping windshield wipers. When rain or snow hits, chattering wiper blades can turn a minor drizzle into a major visibility issue. This can make it difficult to see the road, other vehicles, and even traffic signals.

Regularly inspecting your wiper blades and replacing them when they start to streak or chatter is essential for maintaining a clear line of sight. It's a quick and easy fix that makes a world of difference when the weather turns. For a fast and convenient replacement, just stop by Jiffy Lube.

Taking a few minutes to ensure your lights and wipers are in good working order can significantly improve your safety and the safety of those around you.
