As others said, buy online and replace yourself (same for all filters), and rain-x your windshield every so often. For most cars, they are very simple and you can do it just by looking at the set-up. If you can't figure it out, there are numerous YT videos for your car
Rain-X will keep you from needing to use your windshield wipers in light rain, also helps with fogged windows in the morning.

My last pair cost $20. They've worked great for 7 months now.
I think you got screwed.

Damn!!

You usually GET what you PAY for, and wipers are no different.
I pay a little extra form the top-end wipers because they don’t streak and they last 3x longer than the CHEAP ones.

I usually buy the Bosch Icons, they're like $30 a side.

Rock auto, oem is usually decent price.

What's the make, model & year?
I know some of these upper end vehicles have wiper blades that have all these fancy-dancy features like water squirters and heated blades.
The BMW vehicle wiper blades can be way up there plus they sometimes charge at least an hour for a 5 minute wiper blade change.
BTW, I buy OE wiper blades for my Toyotas for about $20 each. They fit like a glove, they last a good 2 years and do their function very well.
The crappy wiper blades you get a auto-junk.com or fleabay last for about 6 months at the most.

what did I miss? I used to get the Rain-X ones for about $65. This was years ago---- So the crappy ones are now this much?
Posted on 1/25/23 at 8:06 pm to Bulldozer1899
$70 every five year isn't a big deal to me.
Posted on 1/25/23 at 8:18 pm to Bulldozer1899
just replace the driver's side, no need to replace the passengers.
Posted on 1/25/23 at 8:46 pm to Bulldozer1899
Just break em off and make selfie sticks or back scratchers out of them

Ask them for the ones behind the counter.
They are fine and they don't put them out on the floor.

My last pair cost me $4.17 each or a basic wiper assembly.
They last as long as the nicer ones.
