5 New Year's Resolutions for Every Car Owner

5 New Year's Resolutions for Every Car Owner

With a new year comes an opportunity to not only change how you take care of yourself but how you take care of your car. While you may have other plans to better your lifestyle, make sure you don't forget that your car could use some extra love and care as well. Here are some New Year's resolution ideas for every vehicle owner: Create an emergency fund. Sometimes, cars don't give you a prewarning before they break down (or at least not quick enough). To better financially plan for any unexpected breakdowns, you should put aside a pool of money ($500-1000) over the course of the year to help offset the expense of any unforeseen situations. Wash and clean your car every month. If you feel that hygiene is something you want to improve next year, you may want to incorporate this into your goals list. A fresh and clean car not only protects the value of your vehicle, but it can make your driving experience a lot more pleasant! Get regular fluid changes. Aside from having a su ... read more

Keep Your Car's Brake System Healthy This Winter

Your car's brake system is already one of the vehicle's most sensitive components. Brake pads and rotors wear out with time and use. Mechanical parts can sustain damage or fall out of alignment.

Wet, icy roads can kick up moisture, dirt, grease and debris that can affect the performance and health of your brakes. You may hear some extra screeching and squealing this time of year, or you may notice the brakes don't seem to stop you quite as fast as they normally would. Pay Attention to Your Vehicle These issues are common in the winter, but generally nothing to be overly concerned about. It is, however, smart to pay attention to how your brakes are perfor ... read more

Customer Gets Tire Patched at Fox Run Auto

Customer Gets Tire Patched at Fox Run Auto

Joann noticed that one of her tires was losing air pressure. She refilled it every day, but it kept leaking. She knew something was wrong and wasn't comfortable driving around with a tire that couldn't hold air pressure. Joann called Fox Run Auto in Bear, DE for help. "I was losing air in my front driver side tire," Joann says. "I felt insecure driving my car with low pressure light and having to fill it up daily for a few days. I called, explained my problem, and they fit me within an hour!" Once Joann's car was in our shop, our automotive technicians inspected the tire for damage. There was small hole in the tire, which was causing a slow leak. It would hold air for a little while, but obviously Joann kept having to fill it up each day. Even if the tire will hold air for some time, it's not a great idea to drive for long with a ... read more
