    I am a first time 1998 Ferrari 355 Spider owner and my story started 2 years ago when I first met Murry Bacchus. He owns Bacchus Auto Repair which is located at 3837 Pembroke Road Hollywood, FL 33021. I told him that I needed his expertise in buying my first Ferrari.
    We spoke numerous times about the problems associated with this model. I was so excited
    and eager to purchase; he advised me to take my time. He performed 4 PPI'S on 4 cars until
    we found the right one. On the first three cars, he pointed out major problems that were hidden and some that were visible. The result was that I purchased the fourth car and it
    is the one that I drive and enjoy today.

    Murry takes care of my care as if it was his own. He just painted all four rims and had
    new tires placed on the back. He has serviced my car for the past 2 years and it runs
    superbly.

    I refer Murry to all my Ferrari friends. So if you are looking to purchase or need service,
    please give him a call at 954-981-5737. He is truly the BEST.

    I will wholeheartedly support this.. Murray did the PPI on my 360 and was spot on. If I was local I'd use him as my mechanic and won't hesitate to use him for another PPI.

    A great guy!

    My name is Anthony, and I have a 2006 F430.

    I, too, am one of Murray's clients and he has instantly become my mechanic.

    Originally, I am from Toronto. And while in Toronto, for the past 20-years or so, we had our go-to guy, named John (Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, etc.), but when I moved to Florida I needed to find another "John".

    Murray is my Florida "John".

    I find Murray honest, knowledgeable, extremely skilled, and very thorough. I also noticed that Murray has excellent connections on "the inside".

    Any time we need the official word, if he doesn't already know the answer, he can get it and at no extra charge.

    Recently, he replaced my clutch, and the procedure was perfect, not to mention my cost to Murray was about 3-4 times less than going straight to Ferrari. In other words Murray does not over-markup the parts and does not gauge anyone for labor just because we're driving Ferrari's. Owning a Ferrari in 2011 does not necessarily mean we're made of money.

    Murray understands that, and I appreciate that.

    If you're anywhere near South Florida, and driving to Murray makes sense for you, I'd say you will be pleasantly surprised at how great a Ferrari (and other cars) mechanic Murray is.

    Thumbs way up!

    Anthony

    call him at 954-981-5737.

    Good to know guys - Thanks. I currently live in Colorado and am fortunate to be located near the legendary Dave Helms but at some point plan to move to Fort Lauderdale so it is good to know and hear of people recommending independents like Murray with the passion I/we recommend Dave.

    Cheers and thanks!
