Fair pricing, quick turnaround, didn’t upsell. Definitely would return here

Honest guys who care more about giving you the best service + price than profiting off you. Final price was quite a bit lower than original quote. Ensured I understood what was happening and checked if I had any questions at pickup. Will not be taking my car anywhere else now and you shouldn’t either.

This is a great shop, all of the guys are very nice and they got my car in fast and fixed it right away. They quoted me a price to start and the final bill was even cheaper than that! They fixed my car for a super reasonable rate, I don't feel ripped off at all. I couldn't be happier to find a shop that I can trust. I will definitely be going back!

Cool guys! I will be going here for all my future car work. I always get nervous with mechanics after a previous bad experience but after hearing so many great things about this place decided to check them out. They were super patient with me having to reschedule maintenance multiple times due to work. When I finally did get the chance to bring my car in they were super nice. Not only are they super nice, but they’re also knowledgeable and honest. Dave told me straight up the work I would need done to the car wouldn’t be worth it and it doesn’t guarantee it would run longer based on how old and how much was wrong with it. He told me everything that was wrong with the car and quoted me the amount I would be putting in if I chose to get those things. Although it’s the end of road for my baby, I’m appreciative that I didn’t spend thousands of dollars getting work that wouldn’t have even promised me another year. Thank you guys so much!!!

Took my car in fearing the brakes were an issue. Post vehicle inspection the team was incredibly honest, informative and recommended NOT changing them out as they were safe, preformed well and still had good life in them. I never once felt like I was being sold on something and felt secure in trusting them with MY safety. They also preformed the state required vehicle safety and emissions test, further solidify the safety of my car. HIGHLY recommend this shop/team, and will return with further car needs!

The best mechanic I’ve ever had EVER! Super affordable, kind and just good guys. 9/10 you’re going to pay UNDER what the estimate is. They are always honest and understanding. They have made me a life long customer.

Thanks Jonah! Forest Auto is a small shop but they do a lot of business. They will do everything they possibly can to get your car working again. They're honest, comprehensive and friendly. Not something you expect from your average mechanics.

Forest Auto is always the place I go to when I need car repairs, inspection, oil change, anything. They are honest, fair, respectful, friendly, and hard working. You are never pressured into any services you don’t need and they are extremely transparent with repair needs and costs. They really care about their customers and the repairs that they do.

My car broke down while in Buffalo (Rochester native) and after a nightmare of trying to find the right garage that would actually fix the issue I came across Forest Auto. I would 110% recommend them to anyone in the area, I felt completely comfortable as a woman who doesn’t know a single thing about cars they were so respectful and explained things I didn’t really understand so that everyone was on the same page. My car I think is running better than when I initially bought it, I am so happy with the work done to repair my car.

Awesome experience at Forest Auto. This will be my go to place going forward. A quick stop oil change place overfilled my oil, leading to issues with my car. Forest got me in right away and quickly worked on trying to resolve it. Very transparent, affordable, and it was nice to be greeted by name walking in!
