i hated it when they use to automatically change my wiper blades and charge me $15 or so ....

like i dont think so...

pfft, I wouldn't have minded if they replaced the wipers on mine last week. Bloody things do a half arsed job.

Anyone recommend a good avenue for replacing the wipers? AutoBarn/AutoPro/etc? someone else?

aero wipers would be best.....made by bosch, i think............ all one piece wiper arm and blade.

Mr Senator, sounds like you're loving Subaru as much as me currently

To give you an idea, my car has done about 60 000km's & the rear discs & pads have never been touched. Got it checked out the other day & they still have 50% of the pads left... & you know I'm not one to take it easy on the old brakes :lol:

PS - Pete, see what happens when you let the Mrs touch your car

Is it safe to assume you did a bit of a detail not long after you got your car back?

& yes, those aero wiper things are pretty good (Should be standard on most if not all new cars IMO)... Australia's best sell a generic brand for about $25 I think.

Found some in the last place I am willing to go to get anything auto - Supercheap. Only one other place had any Bosch stuff, no Aero wipers but. Seem to work OK for the moment but near anything would have been an improvement. Thanks for the advice guys :good:
