Norfolk specialist advice please
Discussion
Two big events are imminent for me in the next couple of months: retiring to Norfolk and buying my first Aston 
I have had an offer accepted on a property in Catfield, North Norfolk.
Cash for my Aston will be available in October.
I'd be grateful for a recommendation from any other Aston owner in this area as to where the best place would be for servicing and repairs.
Stratton Motors is nearest but I think this is an authorised dealer. Rikki Cann is further away in Essex but is a specialist. Most of the reading I've done over the last year leads me to believe that a good specialist may be less expensive and offer a better service?
All responses and recommendations are most welcome.
Cheers.

I also live in Norfolk and have used Stratton Motor Company in the past to get the service stamp on my 2007 V8 Vantage. I can't think of any other specialist in Norfolk.
Since AM Cambridge closed, Stratton have been inundated with work, so book in early as wait times can be lengthy. I have also used my local garage for some work and also do a lot myself, including changing air and cabin filters, changing wing strakes, paintwork, sat nav upgrade, headlight repairs etc. So if you find a Norfolk-based Aston specialist do let me know!

I had a terrible experience with Stratton after buying my DB9, and many other Aston owners I meet have similar horror stories. PM if you want the gory details.Since AM Cambridge closed, Stratton have been inundated with work, so book in early as wait times can be lengthy.

For 'the stamp' I now go to Nicholas Mee. A bit of a trek, but worth it - the polar opposite of the Stratton monkeys.
