The Car Care Council recommends inspecting blades twice a year; with the Mount Rose Highway starting in your neighborhood, make one of those inspections in the fall. ★★★★★ 4.8 stars from 339 Google reviews State Route 431, the Mount Rose Highway, begins in South Reno and climbs straight toward the Carson Range, the ski area and Incline Village. For a lot of 89511 households it is the road to the weekend. The ZIP averages 2.08 vehicles per household and a median income of about 124,000 dollars a year (Census ACS 5-year 2024), and plenty of those vehicles are all-wheel-drive SUVs that go up the hill in weather that would keep other cars home. Wipers are what let them see doing it. ## Where blades fail: the Mount Rose climb Up the Mount Rose Highway in a storm, the windshield gets a mix of heavy wet snow, sand from the plows and spray from the cars ahead. A blade with a hardened edge skips across the slush; a framed blade packs with ice at the joints and lifts off the glass. Either way, a clear windshield becomes a smeared one in seconds. Replacing blades in the fall, before the first storm, is far easier than discovering the problem on the grade. ## Reno weather, measured nearby NOAA's 1991-2020 normals at the Reno-Tahoe airport, a few miles north, list about 20.9 inches of snow a year, about 122 nights at or below freezing and about 65 days at 90 degrees or hotter. South Reno sits a little higher, toward the foothills of the Carson Range, and storms off the mountains reach it first. The summer heat is the quieter enemy: it hardens rubber long before winter arrives. ## The right blade for a ski car We usually suggest beam blades for mountain driving. They have no exposed frame, so ice has nothing to grab, and the spring-steel spine presses evenly along a curved windshield. If your vehicle takes a conventional connector and you prefer a framed blade, a winter blade with a rubber boot is the cold-weather choice. The [winter wiper guide](https://xpressoilandlube.com/guides/wiper-blades-winter/) explains more. Fill the washer reservoir with a winter-rated fluid, too; summer fluid can freeze in the lines on the climb. ## Five minutes to the bay From most of 89511, take South Virginia Street or South McCarran to Longley Lane; OSRM routing says about 5 minutes and 2.4 miles to 4993 Longley Ln. The service center is open Monday through Friday 8 to 5 and Saturday 8 to 3, closed Sunday. There is no appointment. We check each blade, front and rear, show you any worn one with the price, and you decide whether to replace it. Washer fluid is topped off and the sweep is tested before you go. If it is also time for an [oil change](https://xpressoilandlube.com/oil-change-south-reno/), the blades are part of that inspection anyway. ### Sources - [data.census.gov/](https://data.census.gov/) (Census ACS 5-year 2024, ZCTA 89511: vehicles per household, median household income; read 10/15/26) - [ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals) (NOAA 1991-2020 normals, Reno-Tahoe International Airport; read 10/15/26) - [carcare.org/car-care-guide/](https://www.carcare.org/car-care-guide/) (Car Care Council: inspect wiper blades twice a year; read 10/15/26) - [project-osrm.org/](https://project-osrm.org/) (OSRM routing 89511 to 4993 Longley Ln, 5 minutes / 2.4 miles; 10/15/26) ### Closest service center: Reno South - Call [(775) 828-6996](tel:+17758286996) Mon-Fri 8 am-5 pm, Sat 8 am-3 pm, Sun closed - Address [4993 Longley Ln, Reno, NV 89502](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=4993+Longley+Ln%2C+Reno%2C+NV+89502&destination_place_id=ChIJc5xNCcI_mYARXjHn3y79iJw) [Xpress smog checks here](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/) [Directions](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=4993+Longley+Ln%2C+Reno%2C+NV+89502&destination_place_id=ChIJc5xNCcI_mYARXjHn3y79iJw) ### The drive About 5 minutes (2.4 miles) to the Reno South service center by car in light traffic, OpenStreetMap routing (OSRM), retrieved 10/15/26.
