Fleet Upgrade Begins With New Mercedes E-Class

January 18, 2018 by Simon Chen

In our customer commitment to provide the latest in vehicle comfort and safety, we are delighted to announce the arrival of a 2017 Mercedes E300, 4-Matic to our fleet.

Owner, Simon Chen says…

“It was a sad day when we realized that we would have to replace our BMW 535. This car had a lot of sentimental value as it was the first car we started with. It never let us down, and we did more than 150,000 miles in it – all completely trouble free”

“We did extensive testing of the new 5-series and the new 7-series but we somehow kept coming back to the new E-Class”

“The technology in the Mercedes is class leading and the fuel economy nothing short of astonishing, given the 300 horsepower the twin turbo 4-cylinder engine produces”

Like all the sedans and SUVs in the Eight Black fleet, the new Mercedes is all wheel drive utilizing the proven Mercedes 4-Matic system. In winter, the car is fitted with the latest Blizzak Winter Tires.

Client feedback to the new car has been nothing short of positive. Book your ride in our new E300 by calling our main reservation number 720 316 6822.

Eight Black Equips Entire Fleet With Life Saving AED’s

Eight Black Transport Innovates By Being First Colorado Transport Provider To Install AED’s In Entire Fleet

Eight Black Executive Transport is a small, independent ground transportation company owned by Simon Chen and earlier this year, won the LCT Operator Of The Year Award in the 1-10 car category.

“We operate a separate business called Longmont Shuttle and 25% of our client base are in an age bracket which is more susceptible to heart related issues like heart attack and cardiac arrest. Cardio Vascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States every year”

“We have a responsibility as a transport operator to ensure our entire staff are adequately trained with regards to First Aid, including CPR and now in the use of defibrillators. Just as important is the need to provide our customers the safest and best equipped vehicles possible”

“Our AED training has been conducted by paramedics as opposed to First Aid instructors who in many cases, have little to no real world experience. Compliance to Colorados AED regulations is overseen by a local Doctor”, says owner, Simon Chen

“AED’s have been mandatory on commercial aircraft since 2004. In 2013, the City Of Denver adopted a program called Save A Life and installed 1000 AED’s through out the city. It makes sense then, and in fact, I believe life saving devices like AED’s should be mandatory in all commercial transportation vehicles”

“Our livery and shuttle vehicles are covering large distances every day. The average journey between Longmont and DIA is around 50 minutes. In winter, our Executive Car Service is transporting families and individuals to all the major ski resorts on a daily basis – and those trips can take anywhere from 2-5 hrs depending on weather and traffic. If the average response time for paramedics is 9 minutes in the Denver metro area, imagine the response time in winter if you were traveling on a major interstate in a snow storm”

“As a transport operator, we need to take responsibility for being able to administer first aid no matter where we are and no matter the conditions. We also need to have access to life saving equipment like defibrillators” Last year, Denver Paramedics saved 52 people from cardiac arrest – that should be enough evidence for any operator to install AED’s in their fleet.

Eight Black Wins Prestigious Operator Of The Year

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Eight Black Wins Prestigious Operator Of the Year

Longmont, CO – – – Eight Black Executive Transport, located in Longmont, Colorado, was named last night as the winner of the Operator of the Year Award at the International LCT Show in Las Vegas.

Eight Black Executive Transport is a small, independent ground transportation company owned by Simon Chen and Matthew Deutsch.

Chen has lived in Colorado for four years. Prior to moving to the US, Simon and his family were based in Singapore. He has spent the past 15-years consulting with technology companies across Asia Pacific and the US and has held several senior management positions for large multinationals. “Because I’ve utilized so many different types of transportation services, I understand the demands placed upon busy travel executives. That is something that sets us apart – our concierge level approach to customer service,” Chen notes. In addition to his experience as a user of executive transport, Chen has a passion for driving and taught part-time for over a decade for the largest Advanced Driver Training company in Australia.

Deutsch is a Colorado native. He has years of knowledge and experience in the limousine and taxi industry. He’s completed over 5,000 trips and driven nearly 300,000 miles to and from Denver International Airport, Colorado ski resorts, and other major events.

In September 2016, Eight Black acquired a small mountain operator, Alpenglow Express. In January 2017, the Longmont Shuttle was announced. The launch of Longmont Shuttle was a direct result of Super Shuttle abandoning some Colorado markets including the Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley and Longmont markets. In a short space of time, the local Longmont market has responded in overwhelming fashion regarding the quality and efficiency of the shuttle service.

“Our experience with the Longmont Shuttle has been very positive. The community has embraced us, we are serving more and more people every day, and we are assisting people by providing mobility options. That is often challenging for people,” said Chen.

The LCT Operator of the Year Award is the limousine industry’s leading award for business achievement.

Each year LCT chooses six operators who excel in the areas of Customer Service, Technology, Training, Media and Marketing, Safety, and Community/Industry involvement.

One operator is recognized in each size group. Eight Black was recognized for their efforts in the 1- 10 fleet vehicle category.

Celebrating its 33rd year in 2017, the International LCT Show is the biggest convention for limousine, charter and tour operators in the world. It is recognized as the ultimate destination for operators around the globe seeking education, product showcases and peer-to-peer networking.

In The News…

February 9, 2017 by Simon Chen

Longmont Shuttle is receiving positive reviews – after only 2 weeks in operation. We were featured today in the local Longmont paper, the Times Call. Article is here. We will rapidly expand the daily schedule and start to publish pick up times from DIA back to Longmont. And remember, once we have picked you up from home or one of the hotels we service, were heading straight to DIA. No more stops. In built wifi, mains power, fast charging cables for your phones and a 32 in TV all make Longmont Shuttle the preferred choice for Longmont residents.

Daily Shuttle Service Launches

January 24, 2017 by Simon Chen

As a result of Super Shuttle quitting the Longmont area and leaving local residents without a cost effective way to get to and from the airport – we decided to accelerate our plans and launch our own shuttle product – which will serve the major Longmont hotels.

All the details can be found right here www.longmontshuttle.com

Initially, daily service will be Monday thru Fridays with weekend service being scheduled on demand.

The primary vehicle will be our new 2016 Mercedes Sprinter, with an 11-seat capacity, and fitted with a dual network wifi system, 32-inch TV, in seat power for phones and laptops and a huge luggage area. Kids under 12 will travel at half price and car seats are available for those who need it.

As a local Longmont company, we are committed to serve the community in which we live and hope that we can depend on local support as we build out the schedule and demand.

Welcome Alpenglow Express

October 25, 2016 by Simon Chen

We’re delighted to announce that Alpenglow Express have joined the Eight Black team. Terms of the acquisition are undisclosed.

“When we met Josh, Alpenglows owner, we were quickly impressed with his achievements in the 4-years of running as a solo operator. His online presence was solid, he had a very happy and growing recurring client base and his winter business volume was impressive” says Simon Chen, co-owner of Eight Black

“We are confident that our product and our people will continue to maintain the customer service standards that Josh has set and look forward to growing the business”.

The 2 businesses will continue to operate independently but the Eight Black vehicle fleet will handle all the fulfillment needs of Alpenglow Express.
