This place had my truck for a month and only changed two batteries. I wrote down specific instructions for them and they DID NOT follow any of the instructions. They charged a diagnostic fee when they did not perform a true diagnosis and I paid $3000 up front before they performed any work. They told me it would be 5 to 10 business days and accepted payment immediately. I called after 10 business days to check on the status and they had only changed batteries, they said it would be another week, I called after another week and they had nothing else done and only more lies and excuses. They told me it would be done by the following Friday, I called that Friday and it still wasn't done, so I told them to give me the parts I had already paid for and I was picking up the truck. They tried to charge me more, gave me more lies about why it wasn't done and had everything locked up when I arrived to pick it up. They then tried again to get more money and didn't want to release the parts. Both the shop manager and lead service technician lied and couldn't keep their stories straight between the two of them. I finally get my truck and parts home to complete the work myself only to find out that they ordered the wrong parts. They had this truck for a month and couldn't even get the correct parts. I would not even give this joke of a business one star. This place is not worth the aggravation and time anyone puts in to them and I am still out $3000. Do yourself a favor and avoid them at all costs!!!

They took care of my vehicle and were very professional. I spent 3 hrs watching Netflix and Amazon Video while they worked on my vehicle. Chris took the time to explain the services performed and even fixed a few other issues with the car that I asked as a favor. Will be back on my next scheduled service. The less than 5 stars is only because there is always room for improvement but I definitely recommend these guys.

Forza has consistently delivered above and beyond their promises. I don’t usually write reviews but this is the best, most efficient, effective, reliable automotive shop in our area. The honesty, integrity and knowledge these guys have are second to none. I highly recommend them for all and any of your automobile needs.

I normally don’t write reviews, but this particular place of business deserves A complement and for everyone to know that they are the best around town. I just relocated to Virginia, For years I always had my cars serviced at the BMW dealership. Unfortunately, in this pandemic I can’t afford BMW service On a 2018 BMW. After conducting a research I came across Forza Automotive, Inc, i’m saying bye-bye to large auto repair bills from BMW. I met a awesome wonderful, knowledgeable, mechanic named Dave, I went to AutoZone and my car was in properly diagnosed so, I’d like Everyone to know Dave did a wonderful job his service was phenomenal and he kept me in formed of every detail that was being done to my car, extremely educated on foreign cars and BMW computerized system and specializes in ALL foreign cars for many years. Forza Automotive, Inc. Owned by Mike, Who I find to be a pleasant gentleman.I enjoyed communicating with Mike and his wife as my car was being worked on. If you choose to get service from Forza Automotive, Inc. you can expect for your car to be fixed at 100% add a good rate that you won’t believe. As we know auto repair tends to be very expensive don’t waste your time getting ripped off anywhere else stop in and see Mike & Dave & you won’t be disappointed.

Great experience, Chris was great to work with! Had to get my timing belt replaced and some things in relation to a leak I had, came in with no appointment on a Saturday, got my car back on Wednesday night due to a part not getting in on time. Overall satisfied with work done, they took their time to make sure the job was done right.

These NEW owners of Forza Auto are Great. I moved here from California and did not know where to take my Range Rover. I did not want to take it to Alexandria or Richmond for service & repairs. I found them off google and wasn't sure I wanted to take my car there because of reviews about the PREVIOUS owner. Glad I gave them a shot because I will not go anywhere else. John & Mike have gone above & beyond to help me with repairs and service each time I have been in there. I drop my car off & they have given me a ride to work. They take time to research the best prices for me & explain each and anything that I ask about my car. I am super happy & comfortable that I have found some Honest guys to help me maintain my car.

This place was fantastic. I took my 1995 Mercedes S320 in to have two oxygen sensors replaced and they got my car in on time as promised and even ordered some parts from out of state and they got here in less than 24 hours and my car was in and out of their place very quickly. And the prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be taking my car here if I need to work in the future.

While driving down the road in my 97 Corolla (don't judge me), my car was sputtering for the past mile. It died right outside their shop. They helped me push it in to the lot. I explained that I had just replaced the fuel pump the day prior. We talked about what could be the issue. Out of gas, bad pump, clogged line. I knew it was full because I just came from the gas station and it would only take $0.29. sending unit is broken so it always shows empty. Well, I walked on home around 2pm. At 4:30 I got a call letting me know the car was good to go. Surprise! I had an empty tank of gas. Seems my car was temperamental when it comes to receiving fuel. Mark was very polite and we had a good laugh about it. I guess I will be heading to pick-a-part for a sending unit. I paid my bill and drove on home. Life is good.

Forza could not have been nicer and more accommodating, helping me out with a minor car issue. Nobody made me feel silly or try and take advantage of the cost. I love the concept of a woman owned business in this industry. I went there on a whim and will go back for sure!

I have a 2011 Porsche 987.2 that is CPO with 55k miles. Sport chrono , PSE, Bose..I checked every box when building it. Have only had it serviced at a Porsche dealer due to the extended warranty. I met the owner and the tech. Amazing people, amazing service and they kept to their word about the quote for my oil change. They were so kind as to use a Mobile 1 oil filter and mobile 1 synth oil by request. I can't say enough good things about this establishment. If you are obsessive about your car, then go here and rest easy!

10/23/2019 was the first time I used Forza. I definitely plan to use their excellent service again. I had a water pump put on my Lexus IS250. Chris researched my vehicle and determined it was the less labor-intensive method required to mount the part. He said he couldn't promise, but he would strive to have the car ready by closing time. That was critical since my wife was going out of town that day so I needed to have my car. Mark was kind enough to give me a lift home from their shop while my car was being worked on. Chris call in the afternoon and said my car was good-to-go. The service was done at fraction of the cost the Lexus dealership quoted. Again, great job Forza team and I will highly recommend your superior service at a fair price to others.

I finally found an honest mechanic for all my car needs. The owner came through for me when I was facing a very costly repair for my foreign car. He found the part and gave me a fantastic deal on it. The labor was done in a timely manner and at a very reasonable price. No problems with the repair at all. Overall, I trust that they're going to diagnose my car correctly and fix what needs to be fixed at a great price.

I had an oil change on my 2012 IS 350 and then had a 30” light bar put in on my new 2022 Toyota Tacoma. Excellent job! Great staff, knowledge. Friendly and excited to help. They can do it all, just ask!

My 1964 Fiat 1500 Cabriolet sports car was running very poorly. The car was towed to Forza Automotive where ace mechanic Dave found an intake manifold leak and the need for a new distributor. My car runs beautifully now that he fixed those problems and tuned it up. Forza was a great garage to work with - I highly recommend Forza Automotive to anyone looking for competent auto repair at a reasonable price. Kirk in Fredericksburg FORZA!

My husband and I were heading out on a long weekend trip when the coolant light went off. We found Forza on google and stopped by without an appointment. They topped off our car and wished us well. Service like that is what you can expect. Amazing!

Pleasantly surprised. I have an older car, almost 40 years old Saab that had fuel pump/wiring issues. They were able to resolve my issues and get the car running, and even fixed my botched attempt at repairing it myself and reversed that damage for more than a fair price! I have nothing but good things to say about these guys. Very competent mechanics and friendly staff.
