Two Ways to Instantly Improve Visibility and Safety This Spring
Posted April 3, 2025
As winter fades, your vehicle may be showing signs of seasonal wear—especially when it comes to safety-critical components like wipers and headlights. The combination of snow, road salt, and low temperatures takes a toll, often leaving behind streaky glass, foggy headlights, and grime-coated windshields.
With spring rains on the way and longer daylight hours returning, now is the ideal time to restore both clarity and confidence behind the wheel.
At Tom’s Auto Center, we offer two fast, affordable services that instantly enhance your visibility and driving safety—all in one quick visit.
1. See the Road Clearly – Premium Wiper Service + Hydrophobic Windshield Coating
What Winter Left Behind:
Winter’s harsh conditions cause major wear on wiper blades. Exposure to salt and snow leads to:
- Wipers that streak or skip across the windshield
- Reduced visibility in rain and snow
- Film and grime buildup that resists water
Even after a wash, your windshield may not shed water properly—making rainy-day driving a frustrating (and risky) experience.
How We Help:
At Tom’s, we combine premium beam-style wiper replacement with a professional-grade hydrophobic coating that keeps your windshield crystal clear.
Here’s what you can expect:
- ✅ Replacement of worn or ineffective wiper blades with high-performance beam-style wipers
- ✅ Application of hydrophobic windshield coating, far more durable and effective than over-the-counter sprays
- ✅ Instant water repellency, reducing rain sheeting and improving reaction time during storms
- ✅ Enhanced visibility during both day and night driving
Bonus: We’ll notify you when it’s time to reapply—typically every 6 to 12 months—to keep the benefits going strong.
📅 Tip: Bundle this service with your next oil change or vehicle inspection for max convenience.
2. Brighten the Road Ahead – Professional Headlight Restoration
What Winter Left Behind:
Between UV exposure, road salt, and constant grime, headlights take a beating during winter. The result?
- Foggy or yellowed headlight lenses
- Reduced nighttime brightness
- A dull, aged look for your vehicle
Cloudy headlights can reduce your nighttime visibility by up to 50% according to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.
How We Help:
Our multi-step headlight restoration process brings back the clarity you need for confident nighttime driving:
- ✅ Oxidation and yellowing removed with precision wet sanding
- ✅ Lenses polished to restore brightness and sharpness
- ✅ Long-lasting UV sealant applied to prevent future fogging
- ✅ Final results that look nearly brand-new
Why It Matters:
Restoring your headlights isn’t just about appearance—it’s about safety. Clear headlights:
- Improve visibility on dark and rainy nights
- Help other drivers see you more easily
- Increase the value and curb appeal of your vehicle
- Cost a fraction of full headlight replacements
