Hyundai Accent 2010 Cabin Wiper Replacement & Repair Service

Advice On Your Quote

Wiper Blades

• PREMIUM WIPER BLADE: $43.90
• TRICO Exact Fit Wiper Blade: $30.06
• Total for Wiper Blades: $78.40

• Premium set: $30 to $40
• TRICO Exact Fit: $15 to $30 each
• It’s typical to change both blades together, unless only one is bad

• Price seems high. Even for premium blades, up to $40 each is going top-shelf, and TRICO Exact Fit blades are commonly found in the $15–$30 range per blade. At most, you’d want to pay about $60 for a high-end pair, installed, including labor.
• Check quantity. The listing suggests one of each blade—this is unusual. Make sure both blades are the correct fit and style for your car.
• DIY opportunity: You can buy and replace these yourself pretty easily. Most auto parts stores (like Advance Auto or AutoZone) will install them for free if you buy from them.

• Wiper blades are a common upsell, especially if yours aren’t streaking or damaged. Only replace if needed—just ask to see the current blades.

Cabin Air Filter

• Remove & Replace Cabin Air Filter: $52.20

• Power Train Cabin Air Filter: $39.19

• Shop supplies: $78.68

• Labor rates: $75–$125/hr, estimate for this job: 0.3-0.5 hours
• Cabin air filter part: $15–$45
• Typical total job: $40–$70

• Labor is on the high side but not outrageous. This is usually a 10-minute job and often doesn’t need full shop labor rates. Still, $52.20 is not wildly outside industry standards in some shops, but definitely represents the upper end.
• Parts price is fair for a name-brand filter but not much room for savings unless you buy a basic/house brand.
• Shop supplies are excessive. $78.68 is extremely high for “shop supplies” on a simple air filter job. This fee is often just a catch-all charge for rags, gloves, etc.—usually $5–$15 for basic jobs.
• DIY opportunity: This is an easy 5–10 minute DIY project (typically tool-free). You can save a lot by doing this yourself.

• Cabin air filters are a classic upsell, sometimes swapped unnecessarily or too early. Ask to see the old filter before replacing.

General and Other Observations

• No evidence of parts or labor gouging except for “shop supplies.” Your parts are quoted at the top of the typical retail range, and the labor is upper-range but not egregious.
• The “shop supplies” fee is your main red flag. That charge is out of line with common practice for these small jobs. Ask for a clear explanation or ask them to reduce or remove it.
• No major AAA or similar promotions for these specific services right now.
• Car value context: These repairs are minor compared to your car’s value, so worth doing if needed—but you shouldn’t overpay.
