My VW Atlas was making grinding noises when I applied the brakes. Called on a Friday and they were able to fit me in on Monday. When they inspected the car, they found I needed new brake pads and rotors. They were able to complete the work same day and even offered to give me a ride home because I live locally. Price was fair for what I expected. Would use in the future for auto needs.
This is where I take all my vehicles, no salesman here or gimmicky marketing- just highly talented, fairly priced, old school honest mechanics that tell you what you need and what you don’t. 10/10!
I broke down on I95 passing through Woburn. Managed to coast into the Forrest lot on momentum before it died outright. They were willing and able to take me in right away and replace the alternator that same evening before heading out- preventing me from being stranded halfway across the state from home. Lifesavers. Shout out to @RogersAutomotive for pointing me in their direction when they didnt have the capacity to take me in.
I recently needed my vehicle window repaired and an inspection. As a new resident of Wilmington I thought I was taking a chance on a mechanic I had never worked with before but I could not be happier that I found them. The person who handled my car, Jack, was courteous, professional, and above all great at keeping me up to date on what work was being and when it would be ready. Despite needing to order parts the whole thing was done quickly and for less than I expected to pay. Will be back and recommend others do the same.

As a follow up, Forrest auto has continued to provide exceptional service throughout the years and has been nothing short of a godsend on a few occasions. I applaud Paul and his entire team for their work and continue to recommend them anyone who needs anything on their vehicle done. Bring it here before you do anywhere else. Fast, fair, and always well done. This is the only mechanic I will go to.
I find Paul and all his employees to be very knowledgeable, helpful, and fair. They try to minimize your cost whenever possible, and give honest advice about the problems with your car. They also were very accommodating with scheduling.
Great experience with Paul and the team. Had a suspension kit installed to replace the failed air suspension in my truck. Dropped it off on Sunday and it was ready Monday afternoon. Truck now rides smoother than ever. The final price was even LESS than I was quoted. Fair, honest prices and excellent quality work. I will definitely be returning in the future when the need arises!
I had a very good experience with Forest Auto Repair and will definitely come back in the future for any repairs. I brought in my car for an exhaust leak because I could see a hole formed in the muffler. My car is a 2009 with over 200,000 miles on it but it is on good shape and want to keep it running, but also prefer to not spend a crazy amount on repairs if possible. The muffler is connected to the catalytic converter as a single piece which would be very expensive to replace in kind. Paul, the owner, was a great guy and spent a little time to figure out which muffler he can order and install without having to remove the catalytic converter. He was able to cut the exhaust and weld in the muffler which was much more cost effective than replacing the part in kind as a whole piece.
I really appreciated Paul's kindness and flexibility. I came in the morning and they were able to have it repaired that same day because Paul said they luckily had an opening and could get to my car right away. The price was fair, the service was good, but most importantly Paul seemed like a genuine guy who I'd trust and not feel ripped off like I have with other mechanics in the past.
Had a great experience with Forrest Auto repair. They kept me updated on what was happening throughout the time they had my car, I was able to pay over the phone and pick it up after hours. I even got a text a day later asking if everything was good with the car after driving it a bit. I will be returning here.
Paul and his guys do a great job. They're honest, competent and friendly. And they're willing to go the extra mile, doing things like taking your air handling system apart to find and remove the dead mice and nests.
Paul was great to work with. He was able to get parts and complete service within hours of initial contact. I will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs fast and honest auto repair in the Wilmington area. Pricing was exactly as I anticipated, and there was no hassle.
Absolute lifesaver. My mechanic in NH changed my tires and they were loose. I was traveling to Boston, and on way the car started shaking. Despite being very busy, this auto shop helped tighten my lug nuts so I could get home safely. THANK YOU!!
Middle of a heatwave and my mother's ac would not work. I called Paul and he took me right away. AC is now working. Paul was even going to stop traffic so we could get out. Very nice guy and price was very reasonable. They are now going to be my mechanic!
Been taking our cars here for a few years. We now live in NC but had traveled to the area and needed some emergency repairs. Forrest took the truck in and had it repaired before lunch. Great service and competent, friendly employees.
Paul is very reasonable, and fair prices. I never had any issues. I have been going to him for my car for a few years now. He will never overcharge you.
Very professional, quality work, very reasonable prices, very friendly staff. All I ask for is quality work, for reasonable rates, and honest assessment. Paul and his team will give you just that. I highly recommend this business.
Paul is very honest and does great work. I bring all 4 of my family vehicles to him. Always friendly and vehicles are ready when he says they will be. Price usually ends up being right around the estimate or occasionally even less than quoted. I would highly recommend Forrest Auto Repair to anyone who wants a fair price and quality work on their vehicles.
Honest prices for sure
Did a thorough job in diagnosing car issues...called me before they did the work and told me what it would cost. When I paid it was less them said.
Highly recommended

I have been going here to have my vehicles repaired for several years.
They are the Best!
Always gets my problem fixed.
Friendly, reliable, fair pricing and excellent work.
Would recommend highly.
The clutch on AC compressor did not engage. I reasonably well explained that it need adjustment by removing spacer. It should be a 10 minute job, one hour max. The mechanic however called my wife and asked to replace not only the clutch but the whole ac module charging 10 times more. That is not auto repair its oversell and unnecessary replacement of genuine Japanese with aftermarket questionable quality parts. Making higher profit and taking advantage of people not mechanically advanced ruins trust big time.
I my family and I have brought all of our cars to Paul for years now. From Audi’s, Mercedes, Jeeps, Hyundai’s. Paul the owner has handled every nightmare I have thrown at him. Car seems to always get fixed faster, and for cheaper, than I think It will. Super nice guys, could not recommend them highly enough.
Paul does an awesome job repairing our cars. We unfortunately had to move to Marlborough, and I still bring my car to him for repairs! It’s reasonably price and he’s a stand up guy!
They said they wouldn't charge until after a diagnosis. They called and said they put $40 of oil in. I told them that I had put oil in it a couple weeks ago so they should look for more problems, like maybe an oil leak. They said it was ready, so I tried to drive it away, only to watch my coolant bubble dry ten minutes later as I pathetically sat by the side of the road flagging down strangers to help me push it out of the road. The car never drove again. I still ended up paying for the oil I knew I didn't need.
From the start these guys were pleasant and willing to help! I went in for a simple repair and let me tell you, you cannot beat their prices!! They did and incredible job on my Honda! I'd recommend them to anyone!
The service at Forrest Towing is terrific. The mechanics are very personable. They fix what is broken and nothing else and do not charge you for things you do not need.
I found the owner to be a very considerate customer oriented person. I will definitely take all of my business here.
