This week of St. Patrick's Day, you'll hear a lot about the luck o' the Irish. Whether you are Irish or not, however, you will need more than luck to keep your car running great. It will need preventative maintenance. It will probably require repairs at some point. The longer you drive it, the more care it will need. Sure, some people do get very lucky by finding a car that runs really well for hundreds of thousands of miles with minimal maintenance. It happens about as often as you see a leprechaun or find his pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

Janet drives a car that is 17 years old, so she's used to having to deal with maintenance and repairs every once and awhile in order to keep it running well.

It was very clear when Janet's car arrived at our shop that her car battery had died. T ... read more

There is always something special about a Leap Year. We get one extra day in February and a very select few get to properly celebrate a birthday or anniversary every four years. We have the election and the Summer Olympics in 2020, as well. With Leap Day coming up this weekend, we couldn't help but make note of it! A Poor Suspension is Not as Much Fun Though a Leap Year is kind of fun and unique, a car that leaps and bounces all around is not. Unless you purposely installed hydraulics in your lowrider, you are probably someone who prefers a smooth ride in your vehicle. If you are driving around with a bad suspension, it's definitely not a whole lot of fun. It's also not very safe. The car won't handle right and it will seem like you feel every single little bump in the road. Suspension Repair at Fox Run Auto If you think you might ... read more
