    They haven't done my belts but I wouldn't hesitate to let them do it. Christian is factory trained and knows what he is doing.

    Black Horse is a very, very good choice.

    Both Stuart & Christian are trained Ferrari techs & know what they're doing.

    My car has been at Blackhorse since yesterday (will be picking up this afternoon) and I was welcomed to hang around, ask any questions that came to mind, or spend the night if I felt like it.

    Christian is a great guy and if you want to bring your own parts (I did) then all you have to do is ask.

    I called the Blackhorse about two weeks ago and no one picked up, I'll try next week again. I really want to take my car over to them just for a check up, nothing major....

    I did find Maranello Collision Center (5786 Progress Rd, South Miami, FL - (305) 667-7800‎) to repaint and install a 3M film on the front bumper anyone heard of them????

    Thanks,
    Mauricio

    Being able to bring your own parts is not always a good thing. If your Ferrari mechanic supplies the parts, he also warranties parts and service. If you bring the parts, he doesn't warranty the parts. SOOOOO, if something goes wrong and it turns out YOU supplied a bad part, you now have to pay for new part AND labor all over again...ask me how I know!!! Ok, I'll tell you briefly...308 kept overheating. Algar Ferrari told me my radiator was bad. Bought a new one from an independant parts supplier. After more $$ and continued overheating, turns out radiator was bad (luckily parts guy refunded my money). Now had to pay for another radiator, PLUS labor AGAIN to take out radiator and install new one....that's 2X on removal and install.

    You sure do like this mechanic. (you sure you're not affiliated :) )..and that's cool. I can't say enough good things about Tim Stanford or Karl Troy (here in Charleston)...has anyone else here ever dealt with them?

    Not to mention that there is a fair amount of knock-off Ferrari parts (as well as many others) flooding into this country from china.

    Well I picked up my car yesterday and Christian did an excellent job.

    What he estimated would be a 3 hour job at the beginning that turned out to be a 7 hour job, but he only invoiced me for the original 3 hours that were quoted. This is an example of the type of guy he is. I went ahead and paid him for additional hours as I felt bad and most of all "he earned it" along with my future business. A dealer would have never done anything like this and this type of personalized service is most refreshing.

    Christian definetely moved up to the 1st position on my speed dial list after this service.

    I talked to Christian today He mentioned how much "fun" he had with your car. He is a stand up guy and stands by his word.

    Hey, I got a great source for timing belts, original stuff, made in China, to the highest quality standards.
    One size fits all: just stretch them...

    That's why I suck it up and only deal with Danial or David at Ricambi or the dealer.

    I spoke to Christian, very nice and humble person. I plan to drop off the car on Saturday for a simple inspection before I drive it down to the keys!!!
