About Us

Formed in the winter of 2012/2013, Forest Automotive is :

Brian A Pisces, Brian grew up in Upstate New York and then later on Long Island.  Brian learned the construction trades, and worked as a union drywaller in NYC for several years. Brian found his way to Buffalo State in 2004, and has lived on the west side ever since.  Brian worked for Jonah's father for many years as a carpenter, eventually joining Jonah to help open the shop in 2013.  Brian is a rare blend of intelligence and grit.  He's smart enough to be a doctor, but works with his hands because it suits his sense of style.  Brian can fix or build most anything.  If your vehicle has a complicated problem, chances are Brian is the one finding the solution.  Brian is currently a certified ASE technician, and a NYS safety inspector.

When Brian isn't meatclawing your problems away, you'll find him spending time with his three beautiful children and one wife, playing squash or reading something dense.

Matt Boy wonder with a heart of gold, Matt burst onto our scene in 2022. Classy and graceful, Matt grew up working on cars with his Dad and brothers on the mean streets of East Aurora. We’ve watched Matt grow into a fine mechanic over the past two years, and we can't say enough good things about him.

When Matt isn't working to improve the quality of life of everyone around him, you'll either find him working on his classic VW truck or taking his dog to the vet. And that's it, no other things. Matt is a NYS safety inspector.

Dave A Sag, Dave and Brian have been friends for thousands of years.  Dave's mysterious past involved serious time in hardcore music bands travelling the country, living the dream.  When not on the road,  it's rumored he worked in kitchens and has never talked about fight club.  When the time came to stop touring, Dave joined us full time. Dave is kind, intelligent, and as hard working as they come.  We are proud to have him sweat through our uniform.  Dave is also a NYS safety inspector.

Jonah An Aquarius, Jonah's path winds with the best of them. He went to high school here in Buffalo at City Honors, then on to college and graduate school to become a school teacher in NYC and Hawai'i. He taught math and science for four years until he decided that being nice to kids wasn't for him. Later he completed a degree in physics from University at Buffalo and waited tables. While at UB, Jonah bought an old Honda and started taking things apart. Jonah got a job with Carl Campbell in 2011 at what was then AutoTech III. Two years later, Jonah and Carl made a deal. Jonah changed the name, and started building something new. Jonah is a certified ASE Master Technician, ASE L1 certified, and an NYS safety inspector.
