Foxy Auto is a small family-owned and operated auto repair shop located in North Reading Ma.

Est. 2006

Notice to customers/friends/family:
After 18 years, I've decided to close the shop. ​

This was far from an easy decision. And I can't even express how difficult it is to walk away from my life's work, but due to changes in the industry and a few other factors, it simply feels like the right thing to do.
------------
I owe all of the shop's success to every customer who walked in and trusted me with their car.
Especially my first customer... Bob. 
Bob walked through the door of "The Little Shop" before I had officially opened thinking it was still occupied by the auto repair shop that had been there previously. I explained that they had closed down and I was in the process of opening... Bob looked around, pondered for a second then handed me the keys to his Sienna minivan and said something along the lines of "Well... you're here now. Can you do an oil change and check the brakes?"
I remember looking at his keys in my hand after he had left and thinking "Is this guy nuts? He doesn't even know me…"
Bob was where it all started, and is still a customer to this day :)
The trust my customers have shown over the years still humbles me to this day… 
Thank you for that.

So here are the details:
- As of now I am aiming to close down around April of this year.
- I plan on being available for a few months after closing to answer questions as people start relationships with new mechanics via phone and email.
- I would suggest asking trusted friends/family/co-workers who they use for auto repairs before trusting online reviews. 
- And if anyone needs copies of previous repair invoices they can email the shop at Foxyauto@gmail.com.

And some advice:
- Buy a Toyota.

​And also a final message:
-  Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

 Sally.
