Built by people who ran trucks
After over 10 years of managing trucks, we decided to open our own shop. We had seen first-hand what it's like to pay high prices for work that didn't meet expectations. Forrest Shop is about something different: quality work at fair prices, with honesty you can check.

Questions
How does the $100 first-repair credit work?
Claim it on this site and book your service. If it's your company's first repair at Forrest Shop, we take $100 off that repair's invoice. One per company, no minimum.
Is the truck wash really free with a repair?
Yes. Every repair includes an exterior wash of the tractor. Trailer washes and interior detailing can be added at regular price.
What does the free computer scan with a wash include?
We connect to the truck and read the fault codes. If something needs more diagnostic time, we quote it before doing any work.
Do you work on semi trucks and trailers?
Yes. We work on Class 8 tractors and trailers: diagnostics, engine, brakes, tires, DOT inspections, body work and wash.
How do I approve repairs?
We send you a link with photos and an estimate. You approve or decline each repair from your phone, and we only do the work you approve.
