As temperatures start to climb, you’ll want to make sure your car’s air conditioning system is ready to keep you cool and comfortable. Waiting until the first heatwave hits to find out your A/C isn’t working properly can lead to major discomfort—and potentially costly repairs. That’s why spring is the perfect time to have your vehicle’s air conditioning system inspected and serviced at Fox Run Auto. Common Air Conditioning Issues Over time, A/C systems can develop leaks, lose refrigerant, get dirty air ducts or suffer from worn-out components like compressors and fans. Even if your air conditioning is still blowing cold, a minor issue left unchecked can quickly turn into a bigger (and more expensive) problem when your system is forced to work harder during peak summer temperatures. Air Conditioning System Inspection A professi ... read more

Your vehicle is one of your biggest investments, and keeping it in peak condition requires regular maintenance. Every car manufacturer provides a factory-recommended maintenance schedule, outlining when to perform essential services like oil changes, tire rotations, fluid checks and more. Sticking to this schedule isn’t just about preventing breakdowns—it’s about protecting your car’s longevity, performance and resale value. Avoid Costly Repairs Neglecting routine maintenance can lead to bigger, more expensive problems down the road. For example, skipping oil changes can cause sludge buildup and lead to engine damage. Ignoring brake inspections could result in worn-out pads that damage the rotors, turning a simple repair into a costly replacement. By following your manufa ... read more

Skipping an oil change here and there might not seem like a big deal, but over time, it can cause serious damage to your engine. Fresh oil keeps all the moving parts lubricated, reduces heat, and prevents buildup that can lead to wear and tear. When old, dirty oil is left in the system too long, it starts to break down, losing its ability to protect the engine. Eventually, this can lead to overheating, poor performance, and even complete engine failure—turning a simple maintenance task into a costly repair. How Oil Protects Your Engine Inside your engine, metal components move at high speeds, creating heat and friction. Oil keeps these parts lubricated, reducing wear and preventing overheating. It also carries away dirt, carbon deposits, and tiny metal fragments that naturally accumulate during engine operation. Without regular oil changes, that contamination builds up, and the oil loses its ability to protect the engine. Heat also plays a role in oil degradat ... read more

If your car starts to shake or vibrate at high speeds, it’s a clear sign that something is wrong. Ignoring the issue could lead to bigger problems, so it’s best to diagnose and fix it early. Here are some of the most common causes of vehicle vibrations at highway speeds: Tire Issues Unbalanced or misaligned tires are one of the most common reasons for shaking at high speeds. Over time, tires can wear unevenly, leading to instability. If your tires are out of balance, a technician can rebalance them. If the alignment is off, it may cause vibrations—especially around 60-70 mph. Rotating your tires regularly can also help prevent uneven wear. Worn or Damaged Suspension Components Your suspension system is designed to absorb road shocks and keep the ride smooth. If components like shocks, struts, ball joi ... read more
