Catalytic converters first started being used in U.S. cars back in 1975. They have since become a requirement on all modern fuel-driven vehicles (gas or diesel) with combustion engines. They are part of the vehicle's emissions system, designed to eliminate the most harmful toxins from the exhaust. How Does a Catalytic Converter Work? Inside most catalytic converters is a piece of ceramic that is coated with precious metals such as palladium, platinum and rhodium. These metals are catalysts. As the exhaust gases pass through the converter, the chemical reaction transforms extremely hazardous gases like carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen dioxide into less harmful gases before they are ultimately emitted through the tail pipe and out into the environment. As emissions restrictions continue to get stricter, catalytic converters continue to evolve.  Where is the Catalytic ... read more

Donna came into Fox Run Auto because she thought her vehicle might be due for an oil change. It turns out it wasn't, but she did make some interesting observations while at our shop. Donna listened to some of the conversations that our service staff was having with other customers and she was impressed by the communication. "While I was there, I listened to several service explanations that were provided to other customers and I was impressed," Donna says. "For services that didn't require immediate action, customers were advised of the current state and informed when service might be needed—instead of being pressured to get the work done then. Refreshing!" At Fox Run Auto, we aren't in the business of "upselling" customers on parts or services that they don't necessarily need. We believe in telling it like it is. We strive to provide o ... read more
