What clients say about Foresthill Garage in Foresthill (CA)
Absolutely disappointed with the service through AAA and Foresthill Tow. I waited about an hour and a half for help with a dead battery, only to be told they wouldn’t come because my truck was at a storage facility—even though I was just there picking up items, had permission from the facility, and the gate was wide open.
At the time my truck was blocking several units and I explained that I needed to get to my kids, but the dispatcher refused to help or offer any solution. I even suggested their driver could walk in to replace the battery if access was the issue, but she still said no.
After wasting all that time waiting, I called Halls Towing in Auburn. They arrived within the hour with a battery pack and had my truck started within minutes.
When you grow up in a small town, you hope businesses operate with a sense of community and willingness to help. Unfortunately, this experience was the opposite.
Bobby changed the name and location of his auto shop after years of ripping people off caught up to him. Before he tucked his tail and rebranded, he had a big reputation for being the worst autoshop in the Sierras - Brown's Automotive. I'll repost my review for him and his son, Dave, below.
****Check with BBB before bringing your vehicle in. Absolute low life operation - both father and son. Brought a car in years ago to which they did nearly two thousand dollars in damage and simultaneously selling me a lemon while working on my original vehicle. A report was filled with the BBB after the son threatened to physically assualt me when I told them I wanted to be reimbursed for the damage they'd caused. ***
You guys are just the best! Thanks for letting me come in last minute. Saved my butt today with fixing my tire and taking out a huge nail. I would not have made it down the hill.
Thank you to Bobby and his very strong and amazing tire guy.I sat in the office filled with years of local history , and enjoyed all the regulars that stop by for Bobby's wisdom. At a time in our country where greed and fakes abound, this garage is to be trusted and cherished.
Bobby and staff are amazing and you get extreme quality of service here. And just as important honesty... even if you don't know about cars they will NOT take advantage of you. It's a very honest place and staff
The owner Bobby is amazing. He is friendly, competent and fair. Just another perk of living in such a wonderful small town. I’d definitely recommend Foresthill Garage to any of my friends and family members.
Talked to Chris on the phone and they wouldn't give us a ride to the destination of the tow. They wanted us to follow then in a other vehicle. Of course we had no vehicle to follow them in. They wanted $11 bucks a mile. And they expected us to pay a taxi on top of that to follow them. Are you high? Called Auburn towing and they quoted us less per mile and were willing to give us a ride. Foresthill garage, you are obsolete.
My car broke down while driving back home from a trip and we had a wonderful experience working with a tow truck worker named. Thanks AJ and thanks Forest Hill garage for helping us.
As a new resident to Forest Hill needing mechanical work done I couldn't have chosen a better place to take my vehicle Bob is a straightforward honest guy who put my anxieties to ease and they gave me a ride home a very welcoming community I found my mechanic. Thank you Forest Hill garage for your hospitality
I came to Foresthill for a get-away vacation, and my engine started shaking halfway up. I called up Foresthill Garage since they were the closest mechanic (and the highest rated!), and I got very professional + prompt service.
The mechanic, Bobby, is an extremely friendly and knowledgeable man. He was able to correctly diagnose my problem, and save me money by giving me the honest facts, instead of taking advantage of my youthful ignorance by upselling me. Very fair prices too! 10/10 would come back here if I ever recieve an unfair price from another mechanic!!
Excellent auto shop in Foresthill. Bobby keeps good records and looks up the correct service procedures for your vehicle. They get the work done for a fair prices, that's about as good as it gets.
Best place to have your vehicle fixed. Amazing. I have been going there for 7 years. I moved to Oklahoma 2 years ago and I still go there to have my truck repaired when I visit my family.
Bobby is honest, very knowledgeable, and great prices!!
