When something’s not quite right with your car, you shouldn’t have to guess who to trust or worry about getting the runaround. At Fox River Tire & Auto, we’ve been providing reliable, people-first auto repair to the Fox Valley community since 1965. We’re a locally and family-owned shop rooted in old-school values: honesty, transparency, and genuine care for our neighbors.

Auto repair isn’t just our job, it’s how we help keep families safe, students on the road, and busy lives moving. You’re more than a customer. We get to know you, your vehicle, and what matters to you most. Whether it’s a quick fix or a major repair, we treat your car like it’s our own, no shortcuts, no pressure, just quality work you can trust.

Full-Service Auto Repair Done With Integrity

We know life doesn’t stop when your car does. That’s why we provide a full range of general auto repair services, all backed by a team of ASE-certified technicians who take pride in their work. Whether it’s regular maintenance or a complex drivability issue, we’ll take the time to explain what’s going on and help you make the best decision for your situation.

Oil Change

We don’t just do oil changes, we do them right. We use PetroCanada synthetic blend and full synthetic oils, plus LiquiMoly and Mobil 1 for specialty applications. Consistently voted Best of the Fox for Oil Change, we’ll recommend what’s best for your engine no pressure.
Avoid costly breakdowns with regularly scheduled care. We use BG products for fuel system cleaning, engine and brake flushes, and offer BG Performance oil services. Our team also performs all factory-recommended services, so you can stay current without heading to the dealership.
Brakes are about safety, plain and simple. Whether you need new pads, rotors, or a full inspection, we’ll explain everything clearly and only recommend what’s needed.
Stay comfortable year-round with trusted A/C and heat service. We work with R-134a and R-1234yf refrigerants and handle everything from recharges to leak repairs.
If your car pulls, bounces, or clunks, it’s time for a suspension check. We’ll repair worn steering or suspension components to keep your ride smooth and safe.
We use Hunter alignment equipment to dial in precision wheel alignments. We also offer tire sales, repairs, rotations, and balancing to help you get the most from your tires.
Check engine light on? We use top-tier diagnostics to get to the root of the issue, then walk you through the fix, no guessing, no over-selling.
Strange sounds or emissions trouble? We’ll inspect your full exhaust system and take care of issues like leaks, rusted pipes, or a failing catalytic converter.
Slipping gears or rough shifts? We’ll inspect, service your transmission honestly, explaining your options and standing by our work.
We specialize in light-duty diesel repair, including Cummins, Powerstroke, and Duramax engines. Whether you use your diesel vehicle for work or towing, we’ll keep your diesel vehicle running strong.

Your business depends on reliable vehicles. We offer custom fleet maintenance plans to keep your trucks or vans in top shape, on your schedule, with no downtime.

We don’t do high-pressure sales. We just give you straight answers, fair pricing, and work that stands the test of time.

Modern vehicles need modern tools. We use Autel and Snap-On scanners to quickly diagnose electrical issues like battery failures, faulty sensors, and charging system problems, so you’re not stuck guessing.

We Work on What You Drive

Our team is trained to handle domestic, import, diesel, hybrid, and electric vehicles alike. No matter what you drive, we’ll help you keep it safe, reliable, and running strong for the long haul.
