Windshield Whipper Motor Trouble

My driver's side windshield whipper motor is out of wack. Can anyone recommend somewhere I can take my car for the repair? I'm trying to avoid the dealership, but I will go if that's the only "reliable" place to get affordable* work done.

Thank you in advance for your help.

What specifically is it doing or not doing?

The left windshield whipper rests in the middle of the window, and hits the driverside sideview mirror. When I returned the blade back to the normal resting place, it would get caught up in the right blade that is behaving normally, or not move at all.

Pop off the cap at the bottom of the wiper arm. Under the cap you will find a nut. Move the wiper arm back down to where it belongs and tighten that nut (but don't snap it.)

The stud in the center which that nut threads onto is probably spinning inside the wiper arm. Tightening the nut should solve the problem.
