This is what I have to say. My BMW X5 4.8i blew its rear differential and axles. I called around for a week. No one wanted to help me. I purchased the differential and axles up in NH. Not one auto shop wanted to put in parts that were not purchased by the auto shop. I was 100% relieved when this auto shop said sure. Bring the car to us. We will take care of you. The only shop close to me open on Saturdays. I dropped the car off on Saturday and the car was fixed and ready to be picked up Tuesday evening. I m pleased to say, I ll bring my car here moving forward. Thank you Forest Hills Auto Service for taking care of me. There were parts in the trunk that were put back on the car. I never requested them to do it. I was pleased to see them put them on. I needed my vehicle back ASAP. I recommend Forest Hills Auto Service.Thank you Ahmad K, and everyone working at FHAS.

Brought my vehicle here after purchasing it was used , had high miles and my check engine light was on. They call me the next day and give me a list of things needed I say ok let's get it fixed! 3 days go by and I call asking if any up dates they tell me they were sent wrong parts etc ok fine following week goes by I call Friday and they tell me wrong part sent again has to order from another place. Again I say ok keep me informed of status Another week goes by I call and ask any update I'm told they are working on it should be ready soon! Next day get call it's ready I go to pick up and a couple thousand dollar bill I assume all is well! Not even a quarter mile from shop check engine light back on I bring back and tell them says he will check it out carvthere for another two weeks and finally says he can't fix but car is running good! Had car for a month charged me over $3k and only fixed a couple small issues! Couple months later my check oil light comes on and it's before suggested time on sticker! So I call this shop because one of the services they were to perform was an oil change! The owner says bring it he will take a look personally I say ok. Drop of explain what's going on. Called a day later says a hose needs to be replaced should take a day or 2 I call 2 days later he tells me wrong part was sent needs more time. A week later he calls says its ready I go to pick it up and pay them! Before I could even get home lights are flashing same issues I was having prior still were happening basically didn't fix anything! Out almost $4k total and didn't fix any of my major issues! He ( the owner ) was really nice tho! Bottom line if you DONT want your car fixed but would like to be fed garbage and charged for it all while being greased by the really nice owner then this is the place for you!! If you want your car fixed and fixed properly I'd strongly suggest any other shop other than Forest Hills Auto BEWARE!

Couldn't get in at Morrison's auto because they were "booked over a week in advance" so I desperately called Forest Hills Auto Service who even though it seemed tight found a way to squeeze me in. The person at the counter was so nice to me, and everyone seemed to be a very tightly knit group. My oil change was a little slow but that was because I came in with no notice or appointment. I would definitely recommend coming to Forest Hills for your auto needs! Bring cash because they have cash discount!

Excellent service and the work was completed on time, both in small and large repairs. Ahmad gave me sound advice on my car s issues and even found a good deal on a new engine.

I've been going to Forest Hills Auto for about 10 years for a variety of issues with my car, and they've been great. Polite, kind, reasonable prices, and excellent service. I've had such good experiences with them that I continued using them after I moved to Malden, even though there are mechanics much closer to me. Highly Recommend!Services: Transmission, Exhaust, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, Auto engine diagnostic, Brakes, Air conditioning, Oil change

This place is fantastic! Carley manages the desk and she is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help. Customer service is always superb. The owner Ahmad is honest and fair, and mechanics, specifically Steve, are very experienced and always professional. I don't know the other mechanics by name, but each time I come in for something, or just need air in my tires, they are always eager to assist me. I won't go anywhere else! I also refer all of my friends and family as well because I trust their work, and they stand by everything they do.

Been here at least 6+ times for various services. Never had to make an appointment, they see me the day I call them and they always fix everything by the end of the day. Very friendly and honest staff. Never felt like anybody was trying to rip me off, always super reasonable pricing. I drive and old car so I tell them to patch up good enough to pass inspection and they will find the cheapest way to do so!

My windshield wipers broke rather suddenly and they were able to help me right away. I ll be coming back whenever. I need help with my car because they came here highly recommended by a neighbor.

Definitely the best shop in the area and I've been to several. Bought my 98 civic last year and it had a problem where no mechanic in MA from Boston to Amherst could fix. Tookit here and they not only diagnosed the issue instantly but fixed it quickly and cheaper than most quotesDefinitely worth taking your car to. They have great hours and staff. Parking can be pretty tough but they will make space if parking is too difficult to findHighly recommend

Came here on a late Thursday night with brake issues on my 06 HONDA Pilot. Ahmed is a really nice guy and took my car for checking immediately. Being a student I am always looking to save money. He charged me $400 lesser than another store I had been to. Ended up replacing the entire front brake pads, rotors and calipers for a very reasonable price. Shall surely come back :)

This is a very wicked shop in Hyde Park Ave when you send your car to them for repairs they steal the parts from your car and replace it with an old parts from the junk yard. My experience just last week was, they stole the brake light from my car replaced it with a broken one and my transmission gauge was also replaced with am old one from the junk yard. I will never wish my experience on any one so fellows when your want a trusted mechanic to fixed your car never send the car to Foresthill auto services on 292 Hyde Park Ave in Massachusetts.Service: Engine repair

I had my 2003 Toyota Tundra Service with this station. The Toyota needed repairs that i put off until i could afford it. The service was great and the owner picked me up to get my car, which i was very grateful and he conveyed to me if i have any issues to please call him. I just want to say thank you because that meant alot to me. I am a woman so im very skeptical of Auto Mechanics but the owner of this establishment is very nice and honest. Anyways i will recommend this shop

I love this place! The staff are super friendly and polite (especially Michelle at the front desk!), they are always happy to work around my schedule and I've always been happy with the work that they've done on my car. Their prices are very reasonable and they are always doing little things for free!

I bought performace struts for my car and needed them installed. Not all garages are comfortable installing custom mods, so I was worried I would have to drive out to some expensive and far-away tuning garage... but my local garage were totally comfortable doing the work and also seemed to really take pride in doing a great job with it.

I went to Forrest Hills to have an oil change and a tire replaced. Initially, I was happy with the service, but I had to go back TWO MORE TIMES and I currently have a flat tire.The first time: my oil light was still on and I noticed the tire didn't match. I called and the person on the phone argued with me that the tire was right. I was frustrated but patient and they eventually fixed it though never admitted that a mistake (two, actually) was made.Then my TPMS light came on. I called and they again argued with me, even after I assured them that I went to two different gas stations to verify that my tire pressure was correct. I went back in and they "fixed" it, again with no real apology or admitting that a mistake was made.Well today I get to my car and that tire that was replaced is completely flat. So now I am out:2 hours waiting at Forrest Hills Auto2 hours commute time there and back to fix their mistakes1 hour while I sit waiting for AAA missing a doctors appointmentAnd my goddamn patience.Do not go to Forrest Hills if you want your car actually fixed. Please learn from my mistake.

I bought a car in September 2017 from CarMax. The only service I had done on this car was in December 2017 when I had an oil leak repaired at Forest Hills Auto. They said it was coming from my timing chain and gasket. Three days later my car broke down on a long drive. The cause? The plug was missing from the oil pan and the engine ran out of oil, seized up, and cracked--leaving me stranded a 6 hour drive from home with a car that was not worth fixing. Do I know for sure that Forest Hills Auto caused this? No. Will I ever go back there? Absolutely not.UPDATE: The staff at Forest Hills Auto Service followed up after seeing my review to see if my situation had been resolved. CarMax helped me out (in a big way) but I appreciated the follow-up. The Forest Hills Auto mechanics did not report doing an oil change or any work that would necessitate removing the oil plug, so my car's breakdown remains a mystery. I still will probably not return to Forest Hills Auto but am upgrading to 3 stars to be fair to them.

Courteous, great service, will info what maintenance is necessary andwhat to anticipate. Most times to service my necessary transport is delayed due having the resources to get work done. Always grateful!99.9% on time (.1% is due to parts delay- it happens )..

Very friendly, straightforward, and fast. They were able to fix my blower motor without having to replace it, even though that was the plan, and told me about it. Woohoo!
