Very friendly and helpful folks. Broke down on the highway while traveling through VA with my…read morecamper trailer in tow, and they towed both my truck and camper for me. They got me in super quickly to diagnose the truck, and had it repaired and ready to get back on the road by the next morning. Even checked and filled all the truck tires and camper tires for me. Could not recommend these folks enough, if I lived in VA I would use them for everything.

We were able to get both of our vehicles in for an oil change and inspections. Very reasonable in…read morecost. They seem to prefer to have appointments for the services they offer. Which make sense for the type of work that may need more time. Our vehicles were ready for pick up at or a little earlier at the time they said to get them. CAUTION: with tire changes, told to drive 15-20 miles after the sensor light went on after snow tires put on - ended up checking the air with my own gauge. None of the tires were the same pressure. Ended up with a flat on our trip due to rim damage, unknown how that could happen.

I had a blown head gasket and they told me I needed a tune up, 1000 dollars later I'm left with the same problem I had before taking it to them. In fact, you are probably better off doing the fluid and filters yourself and avoiding this shop completely. I shouldn't have to pay for your guesswork, people expect you to know what you're doing.

I have never taken any of our cars to this place without them being returned with another problem…read moreor having created another issue. They once replaced a radiator in a car without first pressure testing it. A fundamental step in radiator replacement. The radiator leaked. So they had the gall to charge me for the first installation AND for the removal of the bad part and installation of what, I guess, they hoped was a good part. Picked up car and there was no heat. They had failed to burp the cooling system using the small plug on the holding tank made for that purpose. Another time, I arrived 8-10 minutes before closing only to find the office doors locked and my car in the lot UNLOCKED. I had a valet key and I drove the car home. My wife took her car to this place for an oil change and State Inspection. The 'mechanic' left off the access panel under the chassis for oil pan access. I was told they could not get the part for weeks. I found the panel on eBay for $15. I have not used this place for some time now, but I felt it necessary to forewarn people who are considering taking their vehicle to Forest Automotive. BEWARE.

Tires and auto repairs…read more What a pleasant bunch of people working here. Had the need to get some tires since I was riding on baldies and after finding Larry's online, I popped in to see what I could get for my ride. We arrived at a set of tires that would work for my car and we proceeded to get them all installed: balanced, mounted and I even had them do my alignment as it was off. While the guys in the shop were busy working, I spent a nice half hour chatting with Larry. Clean waiting room and fresh popcorn to munch while killing some time plus great prices, great service and super friendly folks - what more could you possibly ask for? Definitely will be back.

When I got to the shop they were still working on my car. Everything looked ok. As they began to install the pipe he found that one of hangers was bad or missing. They had one that would work and installed it. I didn't have to wait the job look professional. Car sounded and ran fine and up to the day that I sold it. I wish that I still had that Honda Prelude back one of the best cars that I have ever own. Hard to find in that good of a condition that age. They don't make them like that anymore.
