Worked me out of 800.00 for brake work. Didn’t even put 50 miles on car, called to explain issue only to be told what I asked to do wasn’t completely done. End result, I almost wrecked car due to brakes seized up after they did the so called brake work

If you’re looking for a mechanic shop that actually knows what they’re doing and keeps things entertaining, this is the place. They had my car in, diagnosed, and fixed faster than I expected — and didn’t try to upsell me on blinker fluid. Special shoutout to Steve. The man works with intense focus. At one point he looked like he was either solving a complex engine mystery… or fighting for his life against a serious bout of constipation. I’m still not sure which. Either way, that level of concentration clearly pays off because my car is running smoother than ever. And then there’s Paul — the real comedian of the shop. He keeps the place alive with nonstop jokes and energy. Honestly, too bad he’s “just” the helper, because with that charisma and hustle, he’d probably do pretty well running the place. The shop runs on horsepower and Paul-power. Great service, fair prices, and unintentionally hilarious facial expressions. 10/10 would recommend.

Melissa, from Muffler Discount, recommended Forestville Auto Services when I was there on a Fri to have the muffler on my 2012 Ram 1500 replaced. Firestone had given me a long list of items that needed attention and she said to let Steve know. Unfortunately that Sat my truck wouldn't start while I was out and about in Indian Head. I had it towed there. I spoke to Steve Mon when they opened and explained what was going on. He called back within the hour to let me know that the starter needed to be replaced and the cost. Within two hours my truck was ready. I asked him to go over the list from Firestone...That afternoon he said that nothing on the list was needed. I dropped off two headlight and one taillight assembly on Tue morning, which were installed by early afternoon. Cost for work was what I expected. Be prepared to put down a $100 deposit when you drop off your vehicle. After hours/weekend drop-off available during gas station opening hours. I am totally satisfied with Steve & crew and can wholeheartedly recommend Forestville Auto Services l

My car was finished right on time and they did a great job. Only got charged for what was wrong with my car, didn’t add a bunch of “fluff” to my bill like other shops.

Couldn’t even make an appointment due to the rep on the phone that was extremely rude with an attitude. If he didn’t want to work than he should have stayed home, instead of taking his frustration out on parental new clients.

1st guy tried to tell me 2 days after a phone quote I received that they couldn’t honor quote given over phone without even looking at my car. I was ready to leave right then but he backtracked to the original quote price. Then called me a few hours later to tell me the speed sensor is broken and asked if I had any warning lights on my dash. I told him “No” he then proceeded to tell me he can fix it for $40 extra bucks. I said fine (I just wanted my vehicle fixed with as little drama possible). He calls back another hour or so later & tells me he couldn’t get the part but my car is ready & he reinstalled the broken sensor. I go pick up my car and it now has warning lights & none of the safety components are working (abs, traction, etc.) and that’s how my car was returned to me. He told me to get the part myself and they’d install it for free. I ordered it and went back 1 week later…& of course he then tells me not today comeback tomorrow as if I didn’t take off work to get my car fixed. Then took off again to get it re fixed to only have them tell me come back tomorrow. I’m not taking off anymore for these clowns. I already purchased the circus ticket by letting them do the work in the first place (I knew I’d regret it). I won’t be returning not even for gas and I use to fill up here all the time. This place is a waste waste of time, money & effort. I WANT THIS INCOMPETENT PLACE OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

They are the west mechanics and unqualified to work on cars l have ever meet in my life. They are very disrespectful and rude ,that is why the shop is always empty and they cannot identify any problems of ur car but they only tell u take it back where you bought the car because they are not mechanics so please don't take ur car there .

Never give these back yard mechanics another dime of my money.again. they Put a differential in my car and it wasn’t done properly. I Took it back 3 times and this Mike gets an attitude because The work was not done completed. And charge me for third time and tell me it was my front end knocking which was a lie. I reported these unqualified mechanic to the (Census Bureau.)It other auto mechanic places down the street from these guys. And show me the sloppy work they did. P.s if you take your car there you will leave there with the same problem and spending more money. So public beware of deceiving Mechanic.

Took y deposit of $100 to see if the car was working properly. Called back after 2 days stating that it was nothing wrong with it. When I get my car back, it was still having the same problem i put it in for. They did nothing to the car and lied about it not having problems.

Mr. Paul is very skillful and experienced (plus a sense of humor!). I highly recommended his business and will definitely go back for more services in the future.

The mechanics were great, did not charged you for a make up bill. They let you know what's wrong and good about your car then allow you to make a decision based upon recommendations. Excellent service

Terrible Service. I have had my car serviced for two things my belt and my camshaft and crankshaft sensors. I paid over $900 in total with both services being done. Then I took my car to the dealership and had the same exact problems not even a few months later. The dealership told me they put the parts in wrong and the parts weren’t manufactured or compliant with my car. And even before that I took my car there for an oil change and even provided the oil. I took my car home checked the oil myself and the oil was never changed. I paid my money for a service that was never done to my car. When I called the shop asking for answers a mechanic by the name Mark told me that he wouldn’t be able to answer any of my questions. Wasn’t able to tell me what parts were used. Nothing. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE. You’ll just end up wasting money.

Mark Paul Beth and the crew will give you honest advice, fair pricing a great service. Work is completed and delivered as promised. I like most that they keep you informed of their progress while working on your vehicle.

The receptionist was nice but the man working on inspection is extremely rude he told me if I wanted to move my car to go use the bathroom I was going to lose my place in line and I can get my money back ?

Took my car here on a whim and the service manager, mark I believe, was top notch. He explained everything to me and also had great customer service! Highly recommended!!

Honest Auto repair shop. I love that they have a flat rate for installing parts you bring yourself. They have been my go to for almost 10 years, excellent service.

Extremely racist. Terrible Service. They obviously don’t want black people spending money there. If you’re African-American, You should avoid this place. They seem to do the best they can to ensure that they go out of business. Very rude lady behind the glass counter. They will purposely fail your state inspection in an attempt to make more money. And will charge you hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars for repairs that they never even perform. This place should be under investigation by the PG Police department so they can get shutdown for dishonest and illegal practices. They should also get hit with discrimination lawsuit for racist and predatorial practices. They deserve 0 stars. Don’t go here, just go ahead and flush your money down the toilet.

I use to live within walking distance of Forestville Auto (but have since moved) and have taken my 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis there since 1987 and my 1991 Ford ranger pickup since 1991. I still own the Mercury and today I had an alternator replaced at Forestville auto. I've always had good experiences in dealing with Mark, who I believe is the owner. If you have not delt with Mark, his personality might come off as somewhat intimidating. Notwithstanding, I always felt that I was getting an honest diagnosis of the problem and a fair price for repairs. I never felt that I was getting ripped off. I ordered an engine (Short Block or long block, can't remember so many years ago) had it shipped to Forestville auto for installation. Never had a problem with the engine and it is still purring like a kitten. The work done there included mostly minor repairs (with the exception of the engine replacement). Finally, I recall the lady attendant, with her young pre-school age daughter, who is probably in college by now , working behind the window. This attendant has worked there for as long as I can remember; at least 20 year or more. Her exceptional customer service has not changed in over 20 years. She has one of the sincerest customer service personalities that I have encountered. I don't usually write reviews, but I feel as if I know these folks, not as friends, because they don't know who I am, but from the point of view of a customer who likes businesses that provide exceptional quality and customer service. I’m sure everyone’s experiences with Forestville Auto will be different., but my comments are merely meant to share my own personal experiences….not to solicit business for this company. I’m sure every one will use their own judgment relative to their own auto repair needs.

The manager inside the garage shop is EXTREMELY Rude and Careless he cuss me three times and didn't want to show me the invoice for the job .All because i wanted to cancel the job. I had to call the police for assistance I worked and respect ever one . !!! I recommend Everybody to NOT get there car serviced there Ever! They deserve no stars... Worse place to fix you car. No one in District heights should use there service. They don't care about the customer or respect you, but he is happy to take you money and disrespect in the black hood....Boy cut the Shop.

Gas station attendants are friendly, and helpful, but they are the slowest shop on planet earth! I needed emergency repair. Stranded 50 miles from home. Turns out I needed alot of labor intensive stuff done (gas tank replacement), among other things. It was WAY more money than I had, so I couldn't get the money for a couple weeks. Got him the money, asked it could be done soon. "No...dude, you had me waiting for weeks to finish this! Bring me what I need, get in line to get it fixed!". Like I had cash laying around the house. I found out I had to wait 5 DAYS after giving them all the money to get it fixed... Dropped it off Thursday. They wouldn't take in cars till the next Monday. They had a back log of vehicles. Why take so many if you couldn't get it done in a timely fashion? How about fixing cars you have before taking in more? I give a star because the gas station attendant was sweet. The car I was using to bring the money broke down. She went out of her way to get me going. The older guy was good too. They couldn't take the second car for a simple alternator job for 3 days because of the load, but Pep Boys got it done in a couple hours. Way more professional... This shop is the WORST for anything but gas. Go to pep boys down the street.
