Forthright Diesel and Auto in
Newville (PA)

Great place to go with all your diesel and gas vehicle repairs and maintenance

Elijah took care of me in every way you want your mechanic to Kept me updated on diagnostic findings/the current bill status He even went above and beyond to call a day later to ensure that his repair was holding up and the issue was dealt with properly I highly recommend this business to anyone needing diesel repairs (or any repairs for that matter) Elijah is a very skilled, knowledgeable mechanic who at the end of the day is a genuine guy who cares about taking honest care of his customers

Great service at a fair price. Very happy with the clutch repairs.

These guys are some of the best human beings I have come across in a long time. Driving from Georgia to Philly towing a trailer my truck blew a plug on 81. Stranded on a tight time table hours from where I needed to be they answered the phone met me by the highway got me limped into the shop then worked into the night for a guy they never met before. Nicest guys fairest prices ever. Great work. Can not say enough good about this place

Elijah saved me while traveling and got me on the road ASAP! Highly professional, could not recommend more. Could not ask to be taken care of by any better people!

Forthright Repair has always treated my equipment with the utmost care and respect, they always let me know the what why when or how of what’s going on, and I look forward to working with them for a long time. Eli has been very helpful and supportive with any needed repairs.

We started hearing a strange noise from the back wheel on our truck on a Friday afternoon. We were scheduled to leave for home in Indiana the next morning. I called several places but no one could fit us in. Then we found Elijah’s number and called him. He said to bring it by and he would look at it. When we got there, he stopped what he was working on and quickly found the problem. He gave us a very reasonable quote and repaired it as soon as the parts arrived. He was very efficient, courteous, and professional. I highly recommend him and if we lived in the area, would use him anytime we needed a mechanic.

Got my truck fixed in a short time. Had a coolant hose & T connector blow up on me. They fixed it within a day.

Great mechanic! Anytime I have a problem this is where I go. They always do an amazing job.

Heavy trailer. Blown tire on I-81. Got there fast. Made repair fast. Excellent service. Thanks guys

friendly fair prices quality work

Didn’t install all the parts I had. And all the parts I was charged for. Literally installed one side but not the other. Stick to working on trailers.

Fast and friendly service. Kept me in the loop as they were fixing it and got my jeep running great again! Willing to explain all the work they did to get it back to new and all around great job!

Eli and Caity were EXCEPTIONAL to deal with when my truck broke down traveling to my home in Tennessee. My transmission blew up and I had my truck towed to there location to rent a Uhaul and ended up having Eli do the repairs.Eli helped me aquire a truck from a friend of his to tow my trailer the rest of the way to Tennessee. My experience with all of the folks I might that Friday was amazing and I look forward to staying in touch with them,Eli installed my new transmission and clutch for a very reasonable price and in a reasonable amount of time. I almost wish it wasn't 600 plus miles between he and I so he could continue to service my vehicles. 10/10 ?

I’m from Dunnellon fl. And was 20 minutes from Carlisle pa to do an automotive show , had a blow out on trailer and already had one earlier so didn’t have another spare . Called multiple 24hr service companies and no one could help or answer, this was on a Saturday 2pm. I found Forthright number and luckily his shop was 2 miles down the road , He went above and beyond to help me repair the trailer. It’s not a good feeling being 900 miles away from home and being broke down. They made me feel like I was family.

Eli takes care of all my vehicles. Highly recommend!

Called on a Saturday for a blown water pump they were there in an hour and a half and fixed in a few hours. On time professional service from Elijah. Would recommend.

My dodge ram 1500 would not start 2 hours from home. Forthright’s mobile technician diagnosed and fixed the problem at a great price. I was very impressed and would recommend them to anybody in the Shippensburg area!!

Forthright mobile does great work we have used them for a lot of repairs and always get the job done quickly and affordably. They do very good and honest work. Highly recommend, best mechanic in town.

Forthright Mobile is an awesome company we've worked with them for a while now Elijah does great work and is very honest and tries to get you the best price possible it's been great working he keeps our trucks on the road and is very reliable definitely recommend him

Very good, will go out of their way to get you back on the road, If in need of help again I would definitely call them. Very honest and straightforward....

We broke down in PA and Elijah was fantastic! He went above and beyond to help us out to get back on the road. This family owned business worked on getting us home and we are beyond grateful to Elijah. I wish there was a bigger rating than just the 5 stars. They are a home grown, authentic genuine people that do this to help people, not to make money. Worth every cent and then some-genuinely good people. Thank you Elijah!

While in Gettysburg pa. For the fourth of July, our truck thre a serpentine belt and consequently caused my power steering pump to throw a seal with belt shred wrapping around it . We had a tow truck take it to our campsite and looked up forthright mobile on google , Elijah answered the phone on the second ring , I told him what had happened and he said he would come next morning, he showed up when promised and installed new belt on my diesel truck only to discover the power steering pump was leaking from belt shards.. Had my truck towed again to his shop in Neville pa. That man worked on my truck till 3am for us so we could make it back to Virginia .. He is truly one person who will get my business while in Pa. If anything happens again . He is Honest , Caring and above all one person I am proud to call a friend now ... He even called to make sure we made it home ...

Blue collar, hard working, and home grown. The service provided was as excellent as the owners friendly and honest demeanor. If I had the money I would break my truck again just because how great this experience was. Forthright saved me a lot of time and money.

Forthright Mobile Repaid was our LIFESAVER! We were camping in Chambersburg, PA. My husbands truck started having engine trouble, the check engine light came on and the warning screen came on. Our truck would start and run, the warning came on, the truck didn't lose power but the pedal was not giving any power to the engine to make it go. I googled mobile repair and found Forthright. I called, left a message and Elijah called me back. He is one of the owners. Very nice guy. I told him the issue and I was concerned because they are located in Newburg and it's a 40 minute drive to Chambersburg, the time was 3:00 p.m. on a Saturday AND we are at a campground. Elijah assured me that he could do it that day. He told me their process, sent a very reasonable quote and said the quote is just what the total could be but it could be less depending on what actually gets done. I was good with it. Elijah made the drive and then it started raining. I thought that I was going to get a call saying that he would come when it's not raining...NOPE! He showed up and worked in the pouring down rain. He didn't have to replace all the sensors, only 1, and the total was less than $200. He said they are 24 hours, rain or shine. My family is grateful and thankful to Elijah that we were able to go home to Maryland on Sunday. I would absolutely recommend Forthright Mobile Repair.

I was in a bad pinch with a blown break line easily the nicest most reasonably priced mechanic situation I've had to deal with in recent memory 10/10 would recommend

When they say Angels walk among us they really do!! I had to be on a business trip yesterday and I was on my way back from PA. I got gas at a BP station and there was water in my gas and my car went from 60 miles an hour to 20 and spitting and sputtering on 81... that is definitely not a fun experience At All!! My Guardian Angel was working over time yesterday!! I was able to get off to the side of the road and then I instantly started praying and this man Elijah Forthright showed up and helped me to get my car back on 81 safely and back off on the next exit and to an Auto Zone and he went over and beyond to make sure my car was taken care of and that I was safely back on the road and told me to call him again if I needed him when I was in PA. If you know someone who needs assistance Elijah will come to you 24/7 Give him a call! He was very thorough and went above and beyond to make sure that my car was fixed and that I made it to off of 81 safely!! The entire day was Good showing up and showing out to me and for me through others and I am am beyond Grateful Thankful and Blessed!! Thanks so so very much Angel on earth Elijah Forthright ???? God Bless You!!
