I had an emergency on the interstate headed to Delray from Miami- these guys stayed a little later to receive my vehicle and run a quick code scan. They did excellent work and are fair priced. I am so grateful I landed there with my BMW 335i convertible in that emergency moment. They helped me understand what was needed and walked me through all my options. Very awesome team! 👏👏

Great service. Even if they do not specialize in Jeep. They know their tires. I have large tires on my jeep and very few have the equipment to balance them properly. They have it.

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
