About DLF Auto Service in Springfield, KY

When you bring your vehicle to DLF Auto Service, you are bringing it directly to an experienced local mechanic and business owner. My name is David Forth, and I have 30 years of mechanic experience. I established DLF Auto Service in Springfield, Kentucky, in 2014 to provide automotive repair and maintenance services to drivers in the area.


I am also a United States Air Force veteran, and I am proud to bring my background, decades of hands-on mechanical experience, and personal approach to the business I operate today.


DLF Auto Service is a family-owned, single-owner operation. I personally run my business, so I do not want customers to feel as though they are dealing with a large chain or an anonymous repair operation. When you need automotive service, you can come directly to me and work with the person behind the business.


From general automotive repairs and maintenance to brakes, suspension, engines, transmissions and inspections, I put my experience to work helping customers address their vehicle service needs.

30 Years of Hands-On Mechanic Experience

Automotive repair is a field where hands-on experience matters. Vehicles contain interconnected mechanical systems, and a problem in one area can sometimes produce symptoms somewhere else. Years spent working directly with vehicles can provide valuable perspective when identifying mechanical concerns and determining what needs attention.



I bring 30 years of mechanic experience to DLF Auto Service.

Throughout those years, I have developed the practical knowledge that comes from working with automotive systems and addressing a wide variety of maintenance and repair needs. Today, I apply that experience to the vehicles that come into my Springfield auto repair shop.


Whether you are dealing with a vehicle that is making an unusual noise, experiencing a change in performance, having braking or suspension problems, or simply needing routine maintenance, my goal is to use my experience to help determine what your vehicle needs.

Serving Springfield, Kentucky Since 2014

I established DLF Auto Service in 2014. Since then, my shop has provided Springfield-area drivers with a local option for automotive repair and maintenance.



Owning and operating an independent business allows me to remain personally connected to the work I do. DLF Auto Service is not built around a large corporate structure. It is an individually operated automotive repair business where the owner is also the experienced mechanic behind the services offered.


That distinction is important to how I want customers to understand DLF Auto Service.


When you call about your vehicle or bring it to my shop, you are contacting my business directly. I believe that personal connection is one of the qualities that makes an independent auto repair shop different from a large chain.

Proud United States Air Force Veteran

Before DLF Auto Service became part of my story, serving in the United States Air Force was part of my background.


I am proud to be a U.S. Air Force veteran, and that experience remains an important part of who I am. Today, I combine that background with three decades of experience as a mechanic and more than a decade of operating DLF Auto Service.


For customers looking for veteran-owned auto repair in Springfield, KY, DLF Auto Service provides the opportunity to support an individually owned local business while working directly with an experienced mechanic.


My military service is not simply a marketing phrase. It is part of my personal history, just as my years of mechanical experience and my ownership of DLF Auto Service are parts of the story behind my business.

Automotive Services for Your Vehicle

Vehicles require different types of attention throughout their operating lives. Some visits to a mechanic involve routine maintenance, while others begin because something has changed in the way a vehicle sounds, feels, handles, or performs.

Having multiple automotive service capabilities in one local shop can make it easier to know where to turn when your vehicle needs attention.



If you are not sure exactly what is wrong, you do not have to diagnose the problem yourself before contacting me. Tell me what you have noticed with your vehicle, and I can discuss the concern with you and determine an appropriate next step.
