I first found this 911 cabriolet just internet searching for the car. Upon finding it was Black Horse Garage, I immediately went to their site. I checked out reviews of this place and frankly, I am unable to comment on what it used to be like, but my experience was top notch. After communicating with Tom Truitt and I received enough positive information that I needed to come see the car, I flew out to see/drive it. My experience at the garage was great. I had the opportunity to meet Matt, who was able to answer some of the technical details that I needed to know, and Don who did the final paperwork stuff. I also met the wonderful photographer (I don't recall her name) that takes all the great photos of the cars! The car was in great shape and everything checked out. I did not have anything that remained a question by the time I was ready to leave. We were able to negotiate a deal and have the paperwork signed that day. The only thing that remained was to get the car shipped to me in the Detroit area. Tom worked very diligently to get me a very fair price on the enclosed transportation and he did it very quickly. Unfortunately it is still winter and I can't enjoy this cabriolet for a few more months yet. I would absolutely recommend this place for your automotive needs. If you are fortunate enough to be local, they have storage, detailing, a bar/restaurant and banquet facility, and lots of cars! Pretty sure repairs and restorations are done there as well! I can 100% see myself checking here for my next vehicle. THANKS SO MUCH BLACK HORSE GARAGE!!! read more

Black Horse Garage - Auto Repair Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

I inquired about the 2007 Mercedes SL550 red color and they said the car in very good condition and doesn't need any attention or repair, trusting to their word I drove 2 hours to their shop from New York to see the car and purchase it. But when I asked to have PPI (pre-purchase inspection) on the car they said can't drive the car to anywhere so ended up towing the car to nearest original Mercedes dealership in Fairfield CT to inspect the car, and guess what !!! the car needs over 11K of repairs (leak on ABC system front and rear, and needs front and rear shock and struts replacement, leak from transmission oil pan, failed on secondary air injection system... and I ended up paying $370 for the inspection by trusting them, so don't buy any vehicle from them without doing PPI (pre-purchase inspection) and by the way the car is still on sale with needs of over $11K repair... read more

Chainage in owner ship has resulted in mechanic shortage and improper invoices for work not done, Took 16 months to get my car back. They admitted they over charged me for work that was never done, now they keep jerking me around. Car came back with moth holes in the liner. I'm having another restoration place review what little work they actually did. Previous owner/manager John is gone, Matt is gone. If you have a classic with them I'd get it out of there. and fast. This is not the Same Blackhorse Garage that it was 5 years ago. read more

I had been looking for a low mileage 1987 Buick Grand National for a very long time. I'm very familiar with these cars and I am very picky about how the car was kept and maintained. When I saw this vehicle on carfax I immediately called Black Horse Garage, John spoke with me and answered all of my questions and invited to see the car in person. Let me tell you this car looked and ran showroom new. John gave me a complete history as well as showed me all the original documents that came with the car. We negotiated a fair price and after having them replace the original tires and having them give it a wheel alignment I drove the car from CT to NY. This car is everything John said it was and more. Black Horse Garage is just an incredible place the staff are all friendly and knowledgeable and the showroom is pristine. Thank You Black Horse Garage staff for making a 33yr dream come true. read more

Buyer Beware! I purchased a high end car from them and have had a nightmare with them and the vehicle I bought. The car wouldn't go in reverse and had numerous mechanical and cosmetic issues, which were concealed when negotiating with them. I eventually spoke with John Buonanno, the owner of Blackhorsegarage and he finally agreed to a small refund. That was last December, after numerous calls, texts and emails, empty promises and excuses he still won't honor his word. How can you trust a dealer who doesn't have the integrity and honesty of your word? Do your homework and due diligence when dealing with them! But my advice is to avoid them completely! 1 read more

Coolest guys on the block! The services they offer seem endless and when it comes to cars, they know it all! With their storage unit next door, they seem to be on the pulse of all things automotive in the tri-state area! read more

For years I have been searching for the perfect muscle car, when I found an Ebay listing for a 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, then watched the video I fell in love! I called and spoke with John and made an appointment to drive the 2.5 hrs to check the car out, when I arrived I was greeted by Matt, a great guy that showed me the car then took me on a tour of their amazing facility. After an extensive test drive I bought the car on the spot! Seeing that I purchased it in December (2017) I have not really been able to enjoy the car until lately, and when I do I always get complements from complete strangers and its always pretty cool when at a stop light I look in the rear view mirror and see someone using their cell phone to take a photo of the car. I can't say enough great things about John, Matt and the rest if the people at Black Horse Garage, true professionals and artists....... Thank you! read more

Black Horse Garage was recommended to me when I took my thirty-plus year old vehicle to a service center that was honest enough to tell me they didn't have the necessary tools or know-how to perform the work it required. Scott, Don, and Lou at Black Horse have been pleasant to deal with, but when I had to have my vehicle towed back in because the carburetor they'd rebuilt for me less than six months ago was leaking fuel all over the top of my engine and the distributor they'd replaced was no longer sending enough charge to start the car, they insisted on pressing me about who else had performed repairs on the vehicle since I'd last been in. I explained that I'd had to pay for an engine diagnostic in addition to the sixty-mile tow to their shop. So they charged me $300 (less a 10% "Customer Appreciation" discount) to put the distributor back together and advance the timing (a band-aid fix I've paid neighborhood mechanics for in the past). Still having the same issues which I've now discovered are caused by the carb loading up due to a kinked fuel line their invoice says they corrected as well as the idle and solenoid sensors the same invoice says they disconnected rather than providing a thorough and honest diagnosis that included the possibility of my onboard computer malfunctioning (work I would have been happy to pay to have them complete). They charged me three times what I'd paid to have the carb rebuilt previously only to tell me when I picked it up that I should bring it back to have "the rest of the emissions equipment reconnected" which had been done with the first rebuild at no additional cost. I went to Black Horse Garage expecting five-star service and willing to pay for it but have instead received incredulity at wanting to know how much repairs will cost and when my car will be ready in addition to the vehicle requiring sensors they deactivated to be reconnected as well as further diagnosis. This is a high-end shop, and I respect that, but my money is as green as anyone else's. I would recommend Black Horse but only if you are willing to pay for their $400+ diagnosis and have a blank check and several weeks to wait for whatever your car needs. I prefer not to write reviews like this but I remain thoroughly disappointed under the circumstances. read more
