Tamara recently visited Fox Run Auto for the second time. She needed some minor automotive repairs and had a positive experience the first time she came to our shop. Tamara felt confident that we would be able to help her once again with honest, quality customer service. "Amazing service and I appreciate you so much," Tamara says. "Being an older, single woman, I've been taken for a ride by mechanics in the past. But here at Fox Run, where you have now worked on my car twice, you are transparent. You have not done anything that even hints at not being honest and customer oriented." First of all, we hate to hear that you've had bad experiences with mechanics in the past. Unfortunately, there are people out there who give our industry a bad name. At Fox Run Auto, we do everything ... read more

Imagine yourself in the driver's seat, cruising down an open road with the hum of your sedan's engine in perfect harmony with the wind rushing by. Your sedan is more than just a vehicle; it is a reliable companion that carries you to your destination. Like any enduring friendship, it necessitates a modicum of care and attention. But how can you achieve that? Oil Changes Are A Must Just as we nourish our bodies, sedans need regular oil changes to keep their engines healthy. Think of it as the lifeblood that keeps everything running smoothly. Aim for an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on your sedan's make and model. It's a small investment for the long-term well-being of your engine. Tires - Rubber Meets the Road Your sedan's tires are the unsung heroes of every road trip. Regularly check tire pressure, rotate tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, and ensure proper wheel alignment. It's not just about safety; well ... read more

You may notice your vehicle is having a hard time starting up. Maybe it won't fire up at all, or it takes a really long time to warm up on a cold morning. Perhaps you are experiencing other electrical issues like dimming lights or problems with the car's electronics (stereo, A/C, windows, locks, etc.). These could be signs of any number of electrical issues. You may simply have a loose wiring connection, corroded port or damaged wire. In most cases, these problems can be traced back to either the car battery or alternator, which is what keeps the battery charged when you run the engine. How can tell if you have a dying battery or a failing alternator? Below are a few distinctive symptoms you can look for, but you will probably also want to have your vehicle inspected and tested by an automotive repair expert to determine the true source and extent of the problem.
