I replaced my rear wiper arm this week. It was bent half way to the shaft at a 90 degree angle by a local automated car wash. I've owned this truck almost 10 years and NEVER had this happen before. Thankfully the replacement was only $40 and took me about 5 minutes.

Has this happened to any of you?

Been going to same automated car wash for years, around last year twice in a row it about ripped my old ladies rear wiper of her trailblazer, never had it happen before or since, had to haggle with them a bit to get them to replace it to as they try to say they aren't responsible, well maybe for aftermarket add ons but a stock wiper that almost all suv's have.

I managed a car wash for a few months. We put tape on the rear wipers to reduce the chance of the car wash equipment ripping them off. We still had it happen about once every 500-1000 cars.

My own car wash ripped off my antenna. We saw a few of those too.

Regarding damage, we would take a statement from the customer, review video footage, pay the claim if it was obvious, and then give the customer a car wash gift card for their trouble. It was a fun job, but the pay wasn't good.

They put a little plastic baggie over the wiper, that place sounds better about it except for the viewing if the footage I think that's a bit much, I thought it would have been a fun job but ya pay stinks.

They did the exact same thing to me. In the end I got $40 worth of free $5 washes, so I was made whole.

5 dollar washes? Where the heck is that? Their basic is 7 or 8 i think and the gold rated wash has gone up now from 14 to 16 after many years at the former price. All we got was the wiper arm replaced.

Got her all fixed up. Very happy to get rid of the crappy eBay grille.

$5 is exterior only, no towel dry. You just drive through... Full service is about $30.
