Consumer Reports recently published an article about automotive repair shops. They surveyed 40,000 of their subscribers to get a sense of what types of auto shops people trusted. They also researched whether it was better to go to a dealership for repairs or to turn to a local independent shop.
A Sense of Trust
The article confirmed what we've believed in at Fox Run Auto for many years. People tend to put their trust more in independent shops compared to dealerships. They feel they can get more personalized service and better prices on parts and labor. Some of the bigger franchise chains rated well with readers, as well, with NAPA AutoCare Centers ranking very high on the list.
NAPA Knowhow
At Fox Run Auto, you essentially get the best of both worlds. We are a locally and independently owned automotive shop proudly serving customers throughout Bear, DE and the surrounding Mid-Atlantic communities. We are also a certified NAPA AutoCare Center, which means you can depend on quality NAPA parts and the NAPA AutoCare Peace of Mind Warranty that is honored at our shop and at any NAPA AutoCare Center nationwide. With more than 14,000 affiliated service centers across the United States, that is truly some nice peace of mind!
