The exhaust system is one of the most important systems in your vehicle. It controls emissions that can be damaging to the environment. It protects your engine from harmful contaminants. And of course, it keeps deadly exhaust fumes from getting into the passenger cabin. If your exhaust system has a leak or a faulty component such as the muffler, exhaust pipes, catalytic converter, oxygen sensor, manifold gaskets or something else, you do not want to wait on repairs. You need your entire exhaust system running effectively and efficiently. Otherwise, it will affect vehicle performance and even your health. If left unrepaired, a poor exhaust system can also lead to major engine damage that will be very expensive to repair. Here are a few signs you can look for to know if your vehicle might have exhaust system problems: 1. Ratt ... read more

Shridhar is a savvy consumer who likes to do his research. This is especially true when it comes to taking care of his car, which was recently in need of some repairs. He called around to multiple big name-brand shops, but wasn't quite happy with the price quotes he was getting.

A majority of vehicles out on the road have a fluid-based cooling system that circulates coolant from the radiator through vital engine components. This process keeps the engine from running too hot or too cold. If the cooling system isn’t working properly, it could lead to serious engine damage. That’s why it’s so important to recognize signs of cooling system distress early on, especially if you have an older car. That way, you can get them fixed before major problems develop. Some of the most common culprits of cooling system failure include the head gasket, the radiator and various hoses and connections that can weaken over time. However, the water pump is one of the most crucial components of the cooling system, and that's what we want to focus on in this article. When it fails, you will notice problems right away and you will not want to wait to get it repaired or replaced. The water ... read more

Chelsea thought she was due for a brake replacement, so she brought her car to Fox Run Auto. After a thorough brake system inspection by our technicians, it was clear that her brakes weren't really the problem.  "The service was fantastic!" Chelsea says in her online review. "They were very honest and let me know that my brakes were fine and didn't need to be replaced yet. So many other places would have done it anyway." Chelsea had told us that her car was pulling to one side. She assumed it was the brakes, but the team also looked at her wheels, tires, suspension and overall wheel alignment. Any number of factors can affect a car pulling hard left or right when braking or accelerating. It's always worth getting looked at by a trained automotive professional to uncover the true source of any problem. In Chelsea's case, it was actually her tires ... read more
