You simply can't go wrong by dealing with Forrester's! We have dealt with Forrester's since moving to Chambersburg nearly nine years ago. We have always been handled as though we are their only customer a We have dealt with Forrester's since moving to Chambersburg nearly nine years ago. We have always been handled as though we are their only customer and they want us to be completely satisfied with all realms of why we are in their building. From sales to service to body shop - these guys are top-notch!! We are preparing to relocate to another state and we are saddened that we will lose this connection (we may consider coming back for sales... we'll see!). Forrester's will long be our favorite place for any aspect of vehicle sales and service. You hear of businesses going down at the time of generational transition - not these guys! The Forrester boys have truly gleaned the importance of honesty, integrity and morality - they convey it in all they do and certainly picked it up from the importance that the founders placed on these aspects. If you are considering a vehicle purchase or are looking for a good place for service, you will not need to look anywhere else than Forrester's in Chambersburg.!! Thanks Forrester's! More

Foresters has earned our business for life I picked up my car from Mike Manning a week ago. Over the last week I have not been able to stop telling people about how great the service was from I picked up my car from Mike Manning a week ago. Over the last week I have not been able to stop telling people about how great the service was from Foresters. The car is actually a 2013 model but I was given service like I was buying the most expensive car they had! The car had gotten a scratch while on their lot, which could have been buffed out in their shop. However, they took it to their body shop to have the rear panel removed and re-sprayed so they could be sure the scratch was entirely removed, not just buffed over. The rims were replaced, as Mike actually saw a flaw on them that I did not notice. When he called to inform me that he was ordering new rims, he told me he did not want to sell me a car in a condition that he himself would not be pleased with. They also put new tires on the car with a curb bumper to ensure that I would not scratch the rims in the future. When I went to pick up the car, the Sync system update took longer than anticipated, so Mike delivered the car to my home later that afternoon. He spent the time ensuring proper connection of my phone to the car and took the time to show me some highlight features and how to utilize some of the more common features. Even after the sale, Mike has continued to ensure I am pleased with the car and the Forester service. I contacted Mike for some car accessories. He was prompt to respond and is handling this small request himself and not passing me onto someone else. Overall it was the best car buying experience my husband and I have ever had. In the future Foresters will be the first place we look for a new car. They have certainly gone above and beyond and have earned our business for life. More

Another purchase at Forrester's I have purchased 7 vehicles at Forrester's since moving to Chambersburg in 1997. My daughter and her husband have already purchased 3 cars there as we I have purchased 7 vehicles at Forrester's since moving to Chambersburg in 1997. My daughter and her husband have already purchased 3 cars there as well, living here since 2010. When I am in the market for a newer used vehicle, I always go back to Forrester's. I have my cars serviced there as well. Even though I do not buy more expensive new cars (recent purchase was under $5000 for my son), I am treated just as if I'm buying the most expensive car on the lot! I've worked with many of the sales people over the years and all have been fantastic. Most recently, my daughter and I have been working with Mike Manning. He was actually a student of mine years ago and it is great to see him doing such a terrific job at Forrester's. I plan to buy any cars I need in the future at Forrester's...if they don't have it on the lot, they will find a car I'm looking for. I wouldn't go anywhere else! Very happy to have added another vehicle purchase/trade from Forrester's! Great dealership and great customer service! More

They did not have exactly what we were looking for on our first visit but were very helpful in finding EXACTLY what we were looking for. Mike Manning was the sales associate we dealt with, but the entire Forrester team is great. Every employee that walked by us would stop and offer help. It was a great experience and will definitely visit them before making another purchase. We would recommend Forrester to anyone. More

In April 2012, we wondered into Forrester's looking to test drive a used Lincoln MKZ. We were greeted by Mike Manning who was very personable, knowledgeable and polite. He showed us all the used MKZ's. to test drive a used Lincoln MKZ. We were greeted by Mike Manning who was very personable, knowledgeable and polite. He showed us all the used MKZ's. We test drove one and he explained everything about the vehicle and worked to get us the best trade-in and deal possible. One week later we purchased the vehicle. Mike even went out of his way to come to our house to program the remote to our garage door. We kept in touch with Mike and in February 2014 we met with Mike again and received the same exceptional service. We were looking to trade the MKZ on a new 2013 MKX. Once again, Mike exceeded our expectations going above and beyond his duties. He listens attentively, never makes you feel pressured and is truly compassionate about making you feel comfortable about your car buying experience. Mike is an excellent sales representative. Mike is not only our salesman but a great person and friend. Best automobile buying experience ever. We love the friendliness, honesty and exceptional service of the entire dealership. More

We have bought several vehicles now from Forresters over the last 18 years. Their service is excellent from sales to service and even the receptionists and cashiers! A few years ago my Mountaineer had loads the last 18 years. Their service is excellent from sales to service and even the receptionists and cashiers! A few years ago my Mountaineer had loads of damage from a hail storm and their auto body dept did an awesome job making it look totally new again! They go out of their way to make the customer happy! I recommend them to everyone I know! More
