Everyone at Forrest Auto Body is friendly, helpful, and professional. They did a great job repairing our car and dealt with the insurance company and car rental company flawlessly. They communicated and scheduled all components of the repair SO well, keeping us informed throughout the process! The end result is a car that is "good as new". For now on, this is the only auto body shop we will ever use!

It took 3 months to replace my fender and still didn’t do all the work I requested. And still my turn signal fell off when I got the car home. I feel I paid top dollar to get ripped off.

I was recently involved in a Hit and Run accident. The entire process of working with the police, insurance, body shops, etc. has been increasingly stressful until I met Tyler.
My car was at another body shop when I called Tyler to ask for an estimate. Not only did he provide me with as much help as he could over the phone, but he even offered to stay past 5pm (their closing time) to make sure I was able to drop my car off today. He was 100% honest with me about everything related to the parts and estimate, and I completely trust that this shop will get quality work done at an affordable price

First time trying this body shop, great work, decent amount of time to work on my car. Other shops wanted for me to wait 3-4 weeks to get my vehicle in. Forrest fit me in the schedule almost immediately. They even cleaned my car for me :) Great customer service.

Honest, professional service, these folks don’t pull punches. They do precision work. In record time, and at reasonable pricing. They don’t do unnecessary repairs. I have even had them turn my business away rather than to perform unnecessary, or futile repairs

Excellent service and craftsmanship! We would recommend Forrest Auto Body and Mike & Brett to anyone needing body work. Customer service was amazing, they finished my Subaru on the date they said it would be done.
If you are looking for a trusted auto body shop, you will not regret coming here. They truly are about the customer!
We highly recommend Mike and his professional team at Forest Auto Body!
Thanks ,
