BEAR AUTO REPAIR

Barbara was having automotive trouble when her van started to overheat. She knew it might be a serious problem and the vehicle wasn't safe to drive. It's also smart to get an overheating issue checked out immediately to avoid potentially serious engine damage.

You're ready for an adventure, but instead of a refreshing family get-away or quick grocery run, you find yourself being jostled around. It's then you truly appreciate the components of your suspension system—working tirelessly to transform your tumultuous trek into a serene sail. The suspension system is not just about comfort; it's a balance between physics, engineering, and magic (well, almost) that keeps your car stable, ensures tires stay in contact with the road, and protects the vehicle from wear and tear. Let's explore these mechanical marvels that make our rides smooth and secure. Shock Absorbers When you hit a bump or dip in the road, they absorb the shock by converting kinetic energy into heat within their hydraulic fluid. This process prevents your car from bouncing excessively and maintains wheel stability. Without them, every ride would feel like navigating through a never-ending earthquake aftershock. Springs S ... read more

Tamara recently visited Fox Run Auto for the second time. She needed some minor automotive repairs and had a positive experience the first time she came to our shop. Tamara felt confident that we would be able to help her once again with honest, quality customer service. "Amazing service and I appreciate you so much," Tamara says. "Being an older, single woman, I've been taken for a ride by mechanics in the past. But here at Fox Run, where you have now worked on my car twice, you are transparent. You have not done anything that even hints at not being honest and customer oriented." First of all, we hate to hear that you've had bad experiences with mechanics in the past. Unfortunately, there are people out there who give our industry a bad name. At Fox Run Auto, we do everything ... read more
