Came to Forest Hill with my 2020 Subaru Crosstrek after a national chain failed my state inspection…read morefor obviously bogus reasons. As a mechanically competent person who does her most of her own car maintenance at home with years of experience on a military flightline, it was obvious they were trying to squeeze $$ out of me. Here's why you should choose Forest Hill- they don't just TELL you about your vehicle condition through questionable pictures via a "digital health report," they SHOW you. We walked through all the bogus claims from the chain (confirmed passable) and stood together under my car while it was on the lift to look at an actual wheel bearing issue that the chain completely missed. They were able to fix the issue same day at a fraction of the cost the chain quoted me for the non-existent issues - meanwhile I worked peacefully and productively on my laptop in their waiting area. They even let me borrow a car to quickly grab lunch while they worked on my Subaru. Within a few hours, my car was fixed, inspection stickers affixed to my windshield, and I left with peace of mind knowing my car was legal and ready for a long Labor Day weekend road trip. My husband has been taking his Tesla there for years, I should have been doing the same all along. If you want smart, reliable, friendly and trustworthy car care and live anywhere near Red Lion, this is the place.

My family (parents and grandparents) have been customers of this garage for decades. Instead of…read moregoing to my normal inspection station, I decided to give this place a try. When I arrived in the morning, a man standing randomly within the garage first ignored me. After a few moments, he walked up to me and said "cards" and extended his hand. No other words were exchanged. After realizing he was asking for my proof of insurance and registration, I gave him the documents. Then he said: where are the keys?" I handed him the keys and he walked off. No sooner did I realize he was gone, I realized my car was also gone. For about 5 minutes I was seriously concerned that some random person may have just stolen my car. Eventually, after returning from what must have been a test drive (didn't realize that was normal practice) the inspection began. Communication was nonexistent until the owner told me that I would need 4 new rotors and brake pads. The grand total was quoted as being $381. I knew for a fact that the rotors were passable, so I asked to take a look. The mechanic that inspected my car showed me the rear brake pads, which I agreed needed changing. He then showed me the rotors and said: "the rotors are definately passable". When I returned to the waiting area, I asked the owner how long it would take if I did get everything replaced and if I would need to have someone pick me up. He responded by telling me he had already ordered the parts and that they would be delivered within the hour. So while the service was timely, I am annoyed that I was given two different stories and pressured into paying for repairs the person conducting my inspection said I didn't need. This may have been a fluke attributable to poor communication, but next year, I wil definately go back to my normal guy.

My fleet of Volvos - more than any other customer - gets superb maintenance and this goes back many years. Yes, you will miss the frills of a comfy customer lounge and loaner vehicles from the dealer, but you are paying a lot extra for this! Dave can do all of the work on any Volvo, though for a complete engine overhaul he might partner with UCF - a fine machine shop. Keep in mind that Dave is a one man operation. The good news is that "Melvin" will not be working on your vehicle. The bad news is that you might have to wait a bit to get your car scheduled. I think you get the picture - call Dave now! You will not regret it.
