Are there any AM Indis in our area ?

Thanks

But probably more expensive than the dealer.

I'd rather use Aston Workshops than a dealer even if they were double the cost though.

Any idea of a typical service cost for an AM V8 vantage there ?

Aston parts and performance based in consett. Friend has DB7 V12 looked after by them and says they are great so may be worth checking them out?

I,ve used these to service my Vantage and they were certainly cheaper than Stratstone. they also allow you to bring your own oil to keep costs down, provided the containers are unopened and sealed.

In addition I've used them for warranty work which involved repainting the door handles and the work was spot on. I found their service to be excellent and for a first time customer you get a voucher for £50 meal at the Black Horse nearby.

Remember they have the status of an official AM service agent which means they are exactly the same as a main dealer apart from the fact they don't sell new cars.

Impressive numbers! So you thinking of replacing it with an AM! By the way, the Aston co in consett also advertise that they look after TVR's... Can't help on this though as I don't know anyone who takes theirs there? HHC for my Tamora

I've seen a few DB9s and Vantages at Dave Walton's in Crook - you may want to look him up too.

Regarding The Aston Workshop in Beamish. I was lucky enough to have a guided tour of this facility.
I spent many years in the trade and couldn't believe their workshop. It was more like a hospital operating theatre. I have never seen such a clean and tidy workshop and staff who are so professional. If I had an Aston there'd be no doubt in my mind where I would take it for service or repair.
