Welcome to Forrest Appliance Repair – Trusted Since 2000
Forrest Appliance Repair is a proud family-owned business serving the Grass Valley area since 2000. Founded by Gene and Emily (husband and wife), our journey began with a passion for electronics and customer service. After successfully running several TV repair shops, they relocated to Grass Valley and launched Forrest TV. With hard work and dedication, the business expanded to include appliance repairs and warranty services—evolving into Forrest Appliance Repair.
As the company grew, their daughter Sarah joined the team, first in the office and later stepping into a leadership role. Today, Sarah manages the business and officially became a partner, working alongside her father, Gene, following Emily’s well-earned retirement in 2018.
At Forrest Appliance Repair, we continue to grow and innovate while staying true to our family values. We’re grateful for the ongoing support of our community.
Our skilled technicians service a wide range of makes and models and are ready to help with your appliance repair needs. Contact us today to learn more about our reliable service and affordable rates!
