vantage 3yr service

[winkle79]

hi guys, wondered if anyone could help?
my vantage registered jan2006, done 18500 miles, obviously warranty expired now. it's obviously due for service. can anyone recommend a good am dealer for me. am based cetral/west london. also anyone have a ballpark figure as to how much it should be?
many thanks in advance

When I got mine I did a search of labour rates for all dealers within 50 mile radius of London - the cheapest, luckily for me, was Grange in Brentwood where I lived at the time

5.5 hours of the service is labour, so the difference between 95ph and 150ph makes the biggest difference to price, other than that its just oil n filters and a few other sundries. I think my 3 year/30K service was about £800 inc vat, 4th year coming up in 2 months now on my Jan06 car @ 34K miles

Anyway, Grange have been great at looking after the car the last 2 years Ive had it, done all the warranty stuff, supply tyres at near on-line pricing, oil cheaper than what I can buy it myself, and a thoroughly nice team there - courtesy cars, lifts to the station/home all no problem - so highly recommended

I rate HWM.

Give Matthew a call in service. He'll give you the price over the phone and you can decide from there.

Might be worth considering the warranty side of things.

Also, think rick-dms on here is an indie?

Yeah, the guys at DMS are supposed to be very good - I may try them myself in future, now Im living back "up North" ...they are in Derby though...bit of a trek from London

AM Dealer price £900 - £1000 (Recommend HWM).

DMS £450.

I can highly recommend Rick at DMS (Derby).

Also servicing you car with DMS does NOT invalidate you warantty.

Give him a call, superb service and far cheaper than the main AM dealers!

I had my db9 serviced by rich at derby motor services last week excellent service and a lot cheaper than the dealer, bit of a trek but worth it, i will be using them for all my non warranty repairs.

Lancaster AM did mine, just over £740... IIRC - was surprised as it was over £200 less than they'd originally quoted me - never heard of Aston doing that before!!
