I'm getting an inspection at CarSpa and they failed me because one of my wiper blades is torn for about an inch on the end. Is that right?

I swore to never come here after the issue with my tint a couple years ago but it was convenient at lunch and I got new tint. That's what I get for not going to the station by my house that doesn't check that closely.

A new set of blades are ~$10, and yours are obviously in need of replacement. Just buy 'em.

Of course I'm going to replace them but they want $15 each for some cheap ones. Ill replace them and have to come back over here.

Seems like every time I ever came here, whether for an oil change or car wash they tell me that I need a new air filter or rock chip repair etc.

Perhaps this is a sign to check your wiper blades BEFORE you get your vehicle inspected.

Wipers are part of the inspection. Buy new ones, get inspection. Not a big deal.

Already ordered off Amazon, just gotta wait. That's what I get for going to a legit place I guess.

I'm pretty sure anyone would have failed you for something so obvious.

why not just buy some at autozone?

They were barely torn, but still torn. The place that I usually go doesn't really check anything.

I'm not going to take it back for the next couple days and I'm going to Austin this weekend in a buddy's car so I'm not worried about a couple days. Plus the AutoZone and Oreilly near me never have both sizes I need in stock at the same time, they're twice as expensive and I don't know enough Spanish to ask if they have them in the back. (Culero?)
