Can say enough great things about Forrest auto body. All of the staff were amazing in what they do. They are upfront, honest and thorough and informed me of the entire process. They worked with insurance and got everything repaired for me looking even better than before the accident. I cannot tell where the damage was and even some small rock chips away from the accident were repaired. Mazda soul red crystal metallic is notorious for being hard to repair and it came out perfect.

Absolutely top notch. Beyond excellent customer service. Unfortunately I was rear ended and had never been in a car accident before. Also I had just purchased my car two months prior to being hit. So in my brain I was expecting the worst but instead had the best experience. They are quite knowledgeable about insurance and explained everything to me. My car is looks just like it did when I drove it out of the dealership. I can’t say enough about Forrest Auto Body. I will be forever grateful I found you and will recommend every one to you. Thank you so very much to everyone at your shop.

If you are in need of collision repair services, look no further! The entire experience at Forrest Auto Body, was friendly, efficient, with very clear communication, and tremendous craftsmanship. Tyler and Annie were not only incredibly knowledgable, but communicated often with the progress of my vehicle. Knock on wood, this was my first collision that required extensive repair and they were VERY understanding and comforting in helping me understand the process. There was never a time I felt out of the loop. My tech, Connor did an absolutely fantastic job on the work itself. Every piece, every panel was carefully replaced or repaired and logged for my clarity and understanding. It's clear he has a wonderful understanding of the craft. Thanks for making this a breeze Forrest Auto Body! Will absolutely be my go to auto body shop!

Amazing job on my 2018 WRX! I was rear ended and Forrest Auto Body was the body shop partnered with Brilliance Subaru, so I knew that they would do a stellar job, especially working with Subaru’s symmetrical all wheel drive. Annette followed up with me weekly and made sure I was in the loop. Tyler was constantly was firm with the insurance company to make sure I had all the necessary oem parts so my wrx was 100% whole and no short cuts taken. Mike and his team did an outstanding job with the mechanical and body work, leaving no stone unturned and bring the car back good as new and showroom quality!

The attention to detail is what sets this place apart. Most body shops can get your car looking like it did pre accident but they went above and beyond. Not only were they thorough in making sure every part was replaced that was damaged (most of them unseen), they even fixed my Ram box that stopped working. I had asked the dealership months prior, the dealership told me I needed a whole new box and they would have to get back to me once they figure out parts and paint cost, they never called though so who knows what they would have charged. Forrest/Ace auto body got it fixed no problem. Not only that but the truck was cleaner than it was the day I purchased it and drove it off the lot. Place is great

The owners of the shop are so incredibly helpful and efficient!! They are welcoming and reassured me throughout my entire experience that they’re doing everything in their power to get my car repaired after being rear ended and needing multiple replacement parts. Although most parts were on back order and needing time to get them to the shop, they kept me in the loop with updates via phone call. Other people need to keep in mind that it is out of the shops control when it comes to getting parts! Patience is key and the shop workers deserve it all. Thank you for getting my car back to me in better shape than before! 😀😀😀 10/10

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!

Fantastic workmanship. Great professionalism. Quick turn around and even took $100 off what I owed. Great guys, doing great and quality work. I'm sorry I needed them, but if I ever need them again I wouldn't take any of my vehicles anywhere else. They guys know their stuff and do a great job. I'd even say my car feels like it drives better than the day I got it. Be sure to ask for Mike. Not sure, but I feel like he probably is the owner/manager and he's really great to work with. Thanks again Forrest Auto Body!

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. Tyler spent about 30 minutes assessing the damage to the vehicle, calling shops to check on part availability, and carefully providing me with three different quotes to help factor in my budget. I have never met a more considerate, helpful, and caring employee at a car shop. Thank you Tyler for providing a little ease to my otherwise very unpleasant situation. I HIGHLY recommend stopping into this shop.
