Wiper motors are covered under warranty if you have a bumper to bumper warranty.

However if you have only a powertrain warranty it only covers the engine and transmission and not wiper motors.

Bumper to Bumper warranties cover wiper motors although they don't cover wiper blades.

The bumper to bumper warranty covers repairs to defects in workmanships and materials but does not cover wear and tear parts.

The cost to replace a windshield wiper motor ranges from $50.00 to $150.00 for the wiper motor and around $100.00 to $150.00 for labor if you have a shop replace the wiper motor.

You can buy a new wiper motor for around $50.00 to $150.00 depending on the vehicle.

If you have a shop replace the new wiper motor it can cost around $100.00 to $150.00 for labor charges and the wiper motor.

So having a shop replace the wiper motor can cost around $150.00 to $250.00 to $300.00 for parts and labor.

When a wiper motor is going bad it will usually start stopping and starting or simply stop working when you have the wipers on.

Sometimes you can get the wiper motor to work again by moving the wipers back and forth by hand.

In some cases it may be a loose connection to the wiper motor.

A wiper motor can be easily replaced and is often located on the drivers side of the vehicle.
