I recently started going to Forrest Howes' Auto Repair for our vehicles. Today was my second visit and I am very pleased with the service. Forrest and his staff are very friendly and Forrest really cares about his customers. This repair shop has a new car dealership feel to it but small town atmosphere which I like. Thank you for the great service!

Total trustworthy. The only place I will bring our vehicles. From the moment you walk in until you leave you know you're in competent, honest hands. They treat you as though your family. Highly recommend.

My son s car broke down near this repair shop. We live over 100 miles away. We ve all heard Stories about breaking down in unfamiliar surroundings and how some mechanics will take advantage of the situation to screw you.That s not the case here. Forrest Howe s staff was honest, pleasant and very accommodating. They also have the cleanest facilities I ve ever seen in a repair shop. It was like walking into a nice hotel lobby.If I lived in the area, I d definitely give them my business.

Best mechanics in the area - by far. Forrest is honest and trustworthy and he and the other mechanics are so helpful and explain all options so I know exactly what my car needs and what the cost will be. I ve been bringing my cars here for years and will never go anywhere else.Services: Tires, Auto brake repair, Vehicle safety inspection, Auto brake replacement, Oil changeServices: Tires, Auto brake repair, Vehicle safety inspection, Auto brake replacement, Oil change

Not many times you walk away from a car repair shop feeling good. After receiving multiple quotes on new breaks they were by far the most affordable and just really great about following up and explaining the process. Got us in and out quickly. When we had a questionable sound on the car they brought us back in and tweaked and checked everything free of charge. Picking up the car our other car experienced a flat tire and they immediately fit us in, even at the end of the day, and repaired it within 30 mins, for a great price. Can t say enough wonderful things.Services: Tires, Brakes

Great and friendly service. Forrest, Scott, and one other gentleman whose name escaped my memory, were extremely patient in explaining the problems to my 89 year old dad. Highly recommend!

In early October, we were enjoying the fall colors, but the low tire pressure indicator on our rental car was persistent, even after airing up the tire. Assuming there was something in the tire, and at the recommendation of a friend we were visiting, I called Forrest Howe's. Even though it was a Friday and they were busy, they got us in. What they found was a dangerous tire, with steel belts showing, and air leaking from especially thin spots. We put a new tire on that rental. We were done in less than an hour. I don't believe we've ever encountered nicer people than the folks at Forrest Howe's - all of them that we met. If we lived in that area, we'd be regular customers. They are great.Service: Tires

I took my car in to get it working again after the AC compressor died. Not long before getting it here, it sounded like a jammed leaf blower and you could tell there was something seriously wrong with it. They immediately knew what it was, what it would take to fix it, and scheduled me. Now this car drives like a dream. Could not recommend more highly!

We have been bringing our vehicles to Forrest Howes for several years now. The latest repair was because my wife's Grand Cherokee was having trouble filling up with fuel. James correctly diagnosed the issue, ordered the parts and had it fixed by Noon on the day of our appointment. I also had the transmission serviced while it was there. Great work as always!Service: General repairs & maintenance

Forrest and his team provide an exceptional service. They are honest, customer care and safety oriented, and they do high quality work for a competitive price, often much faster and with less hassle than the dealership. If you're new to Plymouth, or are just getting tired of driving to the dealership in Laconia or Concord, switch to Forrest yesterday.Services: Transmission, Carburetor cleaning, Electrical repair, Air & cabin filter replacement, Exhaust, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Engine repair, Wheel alignment, Brakes, A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning, Battery, Oil change

Never had a bad moment at Forrest s the people are friendly and cordial the work they do is fantastic and best part is they re honest... it s a great feeling to walk in the door after a year or so and be greeted by name... in this day and age we have become numbers in lots of cases, but at Forrest s you re a person and customer and it a very inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend them to anyone who asks..Services: Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Oil change

On hiking getaway weekend and car died. AAA towed to Forrest Howes. He made diagnosing it a priority. He found the part - fuel injection sensor control - locally and repaired and test drove it all within a few hours. Amazing! Shop is clean and service exceptional. I just drove back to Cape Cod and car was perfect.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnosticServices: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic

Forest went above and beyond for a tire purchase and alignment for us. First, he was able to take our business the next day after we called. Second he was able to get the tires in stock. Third, a part broke during the alignment and he was able to drive to Nashua on a Friday during rush hour and pick it up. He had our vehicle ready for us that evening. I can't stress enough how fantastic they are!

What a wonderful establishment! Called to get my sons tire repaired that lives up at Plymouth State right now and the gentlemen said to send him over this afternoon. Thought we were going to leave the tire and come back another day to replace it. Instead, when my son got there they told him to wait they fixed it right away. It's hard when your not from the area and your looking for someone to trust. I would highly recommend them.Thanks again

What service! My son's car broke down in Plymouth, NH, where he goes to school. We had it towed to Forrest Howes' on a Sunday and dropped the keys off in the drop box, as they were closed. First thing Monday I called them. They said they would be able to look at it that same day. They called me back later in the afternoon saying they needed to order a part, which they would likely get in Tuesday, and with luck would have the car done Tuesday, Wednesday at the latest. Well, they called me back Monday (the same day, and after their official closing hours) and said the car was done and ready to be picked up!! Super friendly, good prices, and seem to be all around good people. Will definitely go back if the need comes up!

Though I was not at all an ideal customer because of my own financial situation, they made executive decisions about fixing my car without my approval beforehand, including temporary stickers, etc that then threw off my entire timeline to fix my car. I ended up hitting a deer after it was fixed and I still owed them money, so I brought my car to a different mechanic who took a look at my receipt of what was fixed and pointed out more than 3-4 things that not only were not fixed but were not even needed to fix my previous issues. It's taken me almost 2 years to fully pay Forrest Howes back for services I'm not even sure were fully rendered but the greater toll taken was on my mental health. Will never, ever, ever be going back.

We had a bad rattle in the exhaust or the front of the car (we didn't know) and we had previously taken the car to the Toyota dealer and they said then did something, but it was not fixed. They said they attached the heat shield better. Anyway, we took it to Forrest and he identified the exhaust rattle and fixed it!The best part is because we are close enough he picked up the car and returned it when the fix was competed. Thanks for the great work!

No complaints with the quality of the work. They helped troubleshoot a sensor issue and had it fixed faster than predicted. The new shop is spotless and everyone I've spoken to has been professional and knowledgeable.

Absolutely amazing.I called them because my car kept stalling at idle. Took it in for a diagnostic. It was my cam phaser. Now there aparently is two things they can do for it. One is a cleaning but this is not 100% guaranteed and the other is to replace. Now most companies would sugest the expensive replacement. He thought the cleaning would work for me which is over $300 cheaper. So far it looks like cleaning it out is what worked. Car runs soooo much better now. Forest was so amazing to talk to. He was happy t talk about options, and even let me drop it off a few days early without a stage fee. He is amazing!

No games, just honestly does it right. They give you a good overview of the car's condition before you invest in an expensive repair. ASE master technicians who know their stuff and can do almost anything a dealer can do. Very impressive considering their competitive labor rate!

I was looking to get an oil change all around Plymouth and everyone told me it was going to be a week wait. I called Forrest Howes auto repair and he was able to get me in that same day! So perfect!

Our son is an out of state Plymouth student. His car finally called it quits and Forest Howe has gone above and beyond our expectations to help us find a solution to our dilemma. Would highly recommend!

My wife gets her oil change here and I've had another car inspected he's always straightforward with you before he does anything let you know exactly what it's going to cost and won't bs you about it and will not recommend a Mickey mouse fix either do it right or do it yourself
