I’ve now used both the body show and mechanical location and both went above and beyond the level of service. Miguel and Tarik are the absolute nicest. My car has always been treated with the utmost care. They are always on time and so fair with pricing. I absolutely recommend anyone especially with an exotic car to use Blackhorse. I assure you the work done and customer service will always be top notch.

They do a great job of servicing my Porsche 911 and are much less expensive than the dealer. Very knowledgeable and professional. I will keep bringing my Porsche 911 to Black Horse Automotive

Black Horse Automotive is the place to get service for your European Sports Car. Jake and Miguel are amazing. They're always accommodating, always professional, always friendly and quite knowledgeable. I brought my MB SL55 to them for service. They performed a full complementary inspection and let me know where the issues were. Jake told me he would monitor these issues and during my next oil change and he would let me know if they got worse. Now what mechanic shop does this? Typically, most shops will tell you to get lots of service performed. Black Horse doesn't do that. They are one of the most honest shops I've dealt with over my many years of owning these types of cars. I'm currently on their waiting list for some additional work that needs to be performed. Black Horse is worth waiting for. I wouldn't go anywhere else. They treat you like family. Thank you for the great experience Black Horse !!! *** I also used their collision shop "Black Horse Collision" for some cosmetic upgrades and some paint issues. Kevin and Omar were also great doing business with. They all seem to have the same great mantra, "Treat them like family, do good work at an honest price and they will come back".
