AM V8 8 year service
Discussion
Sorry if this has been done to death elsewhere but I couldn't find anything in the search results.
My 2006 v8v is coming up to its 8 yr service with c.32,000 miles. Can someone give me an indication on likely cost before I call up my local dealer? Any big items I should be concerned about?
Thanks

After 8 years I think it's time for a std garage if a independent isn't available. Stamp the book if there is room but I can't see it haven't a negative effect should you come to sell.
+1.When I recently traded in my DB7VV they never even mentioned the service history.

That seems very high. Is the 8yr a big one?
The prices I gave are current quotes for London, for an 8 year service. The annual service seems to be about £100 more expensive for each additional year, more or less.The FAQs say up to £1,200 at a main dealer (e.g. Stratstone), that's probably right outside London, you won't get much cheaper. £450 at an independent seems too low - in April, I had a quote from a non-London, non-AM-authorized but good independent of £700 for a 7 year service.

Cheapest dealer quote I got was initially £1100 from only Scottish dealer. They came down to £980 after some haggling.
Found a great Independant £455 incl brake fluid change. They had a few DB7's in as well when I was there. Very happy and will be going back.

Am I missing something here? £595 at main dealer through http://www.servicethecar.com/ . Did this last year and the car was done at Grange Exeter - and they picked the car up and dropped it off.

Good find, a quick search revealed 3 main dealers for the V8V 8 year service:-Grange £702
JCT600 £572
Chiltern £608
Could be used as negotiating tool with your local dealer if nothing else.

Not PK. I used Lorimer and Findlay in Glasgow. DBDV8 said:
