Not many garages, especially larger chains, give me the confidence that I'm not being overcharged. When they recommend a service, I trust that it's genuinely needed. The experience was quick and efficient, and Chris creates a welcoming atmosphere that makes everyone feel right at home.

This place has everything you want in a mechanic shop: Honest, knowledgeable people charging fair prices for services done well. I've been coming here for years for large and small jobs, and I've always been happy with the experience. They NEVER try and upsell you or push you to tack on additional services. Plus, they always make me laugh.

I was extremely pleased with my first visit to Forest Hill garage. The owner and other employees were all very friendly and helpful. They sent me across the street to Advanced Auto Parts for a particular part bc it was slightly cheaper there. And they got the other part needed very quickly. When I brought the car back for the repair, it was completed immediately. The owner was very kind in giving me a discount for being a medical provider, and was genuine in his appreciation of my work. I will absolutely be a returning customer. Thank you!

🎼🎶Honesty is such a lonely word. Forest Hill Garage has honest mechanics! Recommended to me by a friend who has used them for over a decade. I brought my 2010 Honda Odyssey in because the vents were blowing heat whether I had the heat on, the air conditionng on or the whole hvac system off. I had this problem for months weeks. Forest Hill took it out, drove it around until the engine really warmed up and they said that it was working. They think It was most likely a vent that was stuck open and then righted itself. Since I've been driving it after picking it up, they are correct it's working fine now. They charged a very fair and reasonable fee and didn't pretend they had fixed it. Honesty!! Highly recommend.

We will only be taking our cars here after the first experience. The entire team is friendly, knowledge, and honest. They had me in and out of there in an hour and charged a super fair price.

After a bad experience at a previous shop, Forrest Hill Garage stepped up and turned around a major inconvenience. From entry the humor and greeting was A1, and they were time efficient. Great team here.

Great team of mechanics and awesome customer service! So far, they’ve helped me with an inspection and a major brake job (had to have my car towed in). They are honest, efficient, and do a great job communicating and setting expectations. Highly recommend!

Very fast and professional. You can sit and wait. If there is no problem with the car, it must be fixed. Everything is completed within 15-30 minutes. There are facilities near you. You can walk, such as McDonald's, Starbucks.

In February 2025, I had my car towed here when it wouldn't start. I described what the car was (or wasn't) doing to my mechanic uncle on the phone and he said it sounded like I had a bad starter, so I told the staff that I needed a new starter. But the staff at Forest Hill at first told me I needed a new battery. I told them I had bought the battery two years ago and batteries had always lasted four or five years in all my cars, and they then said because I had bought the cheapest battery that Auto Zone sold, those only lasted about two years. So they bought a battery from the Advance Auto across the street from their garage but didn't charge me for it, instead they charged me a $130 diagnostic fee. They told me the car was fixed, and when I came to pick it up (I had to take the bus), it still wouldn't start. All in all, they kept my car for a week and never fixed it. While still working under the battery theory, the solenoid was broken, and they charged me $50 to replace that. Their final analysis was that the computer chip had gone bad and that I needed a new chip, and they quoted me a few hundred dollars for the part and labor. I finally had the car towed away to another garage, which correctly identified the problem as the starter, replaced it, and I was good to go. The attached photo is of the condition in which the second mechanic found my new battery and its cables when the car arrived to his garage. He said that cables had not been hooked up and that the battery wasn't even seated correctly. Because the solenoid sits next to the battery in a car, it is possible for a mechanic to break the solenoid when replacing the battery. I let the solenoid go because I wasn't present when it broke, but I asked the owner for my $130 back because his staff had never diagnosed anything and certainly hadn't fixed anything, and the owner gave me my $130 back.

Chris at the front desk is easy to talk to and always friendly. The kind of guy you feel like you’ve known your entire life. Jason and the mechanics are honest, trustworthy and hardworking. I greatly appreciate that they take the time to explain what repairs are needed. It’s a huge comfort to feel confident leaving my car with a team who genuinely care about doing the right thing.

Chris and Lurch absolutely saved me and my family on a moving trip from FL to NJ. Had a spark plug blow out of my ignition coil. Lurch got me the right parts and back on the road! We appreciate it so much! 1000% recommend!

I had a state inspection done with this mechanic shop, and honestly, it was an outstanding experience. He was thorough, professional. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for state inspection service.
