Fox Run Auto is proud to be an independently owned and operated business. Today is the 4th of July, so it's a good time to reflect on what this spirit of independence means to our customers and to everyone working in our shop. Local History Michael DeFino opened Fox Run Auto back in 1994. In fact, next year we'll be celebrating our 25-year anniversary. Mike could have chose to open a franchise auto parts store or repair center, but that's not his style.

There was also concern that there was more damage beyond the belt that may need further inspection. We had to look for creative solutions to avo ... read more
