Services
Although we will do our best to accommodate walk-ins, appointments for state inspections are advised as wait times can be lengthy otherwise. Most inspections take 45 minutes to an hour. Additionally, we can often "work in" a drop off if timed appointments are all booked. Please call to discuss all options with our service writer.
Tires are a very important safety item on your car, but new tires represent a significant vehicle investment. Forest Auto can help you plan ahead by offering free to-the-penny phone estimates, including mount, balance & hardware fees, all taxes, & disposal costs. We order economy through premium lines with next day delivery from our supplier.
Did you know that most cars today have between five and fifteen different computers networked throughout the vehicle? Today's auto repair shop must be able to access and interpret this computer data in order to accurately diagnose a vehicle's problems. Otherwise, you may wind up wasting money to fix symptoms without repairing the actual cause of the problem.
We perform software updates on today's multi-plexed automotive computer systems, and we provide computer replacement with controller initialization on most makes & models. Most manufacturers periodically offer software update bundles to correct or improve many aspects of your vehicle's operating systems.
Steering and Suspension: This system takes more wear and tear than even your brakes and merits just as much attention for safety. Unlike brakes, when you are driving, your steering is constantly used, and because it supports the weight of your car on the wheels, your suspension system is always at work, even when your car is not being driven.

2006 Land Rover owner here.
Maintenance involved the engine fan clutch, and it turns out I had bought the wrong one, and we couldn't order the right one due to shortages. Anyways, they put the old fan clutch back in and I drove back to my home in Forest. Just as I'm pulling in my driveway the engine light goes and I smell radiator fluid, I pop the hood and start to look around, check the reservoir (empty), check the hoses and I notice one of the radiator return hoses is routed incorrectly, which put it in contact with the fan blade. This particular hose is preformed and has a couple of very distinctive

I've been taking my cars here since 2005, won't go anywhere else. Very trustworthy. They do quality work and won't nickel&dime you or tell you that you need to replace something that doesn't need replacing. Don't expect to get in on short notice, figure about a week in advance to make your appointment.

Forest Auto has been great in my experience with them. Recently was diagnosed with a bad alternator. They did a great job of helping me find the most affordable solution to my problem, even after I made them wait half the day for a call back. High quality staff and high quality work. Will absolutely be sticking with them in the future. Thanks guys!
