I live in Kent but travel over to Rikki.....top bloke, knows his onions. Pretty good on Astons too

I spoke to Pugsley & Lewis today but they admitted they didn't know much about the more modern cars.
I'll give Rikki a call tomorrow.

Thanks.

Spoke to Rikki today and he seems to know his Astons.
Does anyone know these guys?

It would seem to be a choice of 2. Rikki Cann in Southend or Glenn at Jaguar spares. Both seem to know there Astons very well. Judging by Rikki's website (not yet visited the workshops) they are a proffesional outfit. I visited Jag spares and they would seem to fall into the "small enthusiastic and keen two man band" catagory.

I'm not looking for anything to be done to the car immediately, more of a long term trust relationship.
Having just got the car back from the main stealer network and been charged for service items and work which blatantly has not been carried out(conversation to be had with them next week!), I can no longer trust them with the car.

Rikki looks after both our Astons. I now live in Devon and still take my car to him in Essex. A totally genuine and down to earth guy who genuinely loves Astons.

I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Rikki looks after all of mine; from a 1972 car to a 2007 one. Top bloke and a great bunch of guys there.

They are not a independant anymore , they are now a authorised dealer.
So if you do give them a look , then by all means give me a shout (Stratstone Aston Martin Amersham).

[ferdi p]

If they are an authorised dealer how come they cant sell new???

Hi All

Sorry but 'blackice1' is incorrect on this occasion.

We are indeed still an independant Aston Martin Specialist & have been since 1968.

We now have gained 'Approved Repairer' status & are the first INDEPENDANT Aston Martin specialist to gain this.

This status now allows Chiltern Aston to extend attend our already established servicing/repair needs to ownwers of 'new era models'


Some of our services are as follows :-

Heritage Servicing & Repair

New Era Servicing & Repair

Aston Martin & Landrover Approved Bodyshop (on site)

Extended Warranty renewals

As Magnus has already mentioned more details can be found on our website http://www.chilternaston.co.uk
