A secondary reservoir system for use in a vehicle having a windshield washer system which includes a fluid reservoir for supplying windshield washer fluid to a windshield or other transparent surface, the secondary reservoir system comprising a cover designed to fit on retail windshield washer containers or OEM reserve containers, a pump operatively connected to transfer windshield washer fluid from the retail or OEM containers to the system reservoir, a sensing means for sensing fluid levels in both the system reservoir and the retail or OEM containers and a user interface means connected through wireless means to control the function and display the status of the secondary reservoir system. The interface means may be configured to function in both manual and automatic modes, the manual mode requiring the vehicle operator to initiate a fluid transfer, the automatic mode would be initiated automatically when fluid is required by the windshield washer system and the operation would be made known to the vehicle operator. By enabling vehicle operators to maintain a supply of windshield washer fluid reduces or eliminates situations wherein vehicle operators have to choose between the dangers of refilling the system reservoir in hazardous conditions or continuing to drive on with reduced visibility. The system overcomes user interface difficulties and installation problems, costs and limitations associated with existing systems making a secondary reservoir system a viable option.
