Nobody has answered you from that area, but if you are willing to travel a little further north into Durham Aston Service are good to deal with. Not independent in so much as they are a fully authorised Aston martin service Agent which gives them the same status as a main dealer.

Drive up, drop it off, look at all of their old Astons and other marquis, have a meal in nearby Black Horse, and drive home

Bridgemill Motors are also always very well reviewed on here.

They are approx 1.5hrs away in Macclesfield. Further details in the FAQ.

For a service and MOT, JCT600 in my experience are good - they have reasonable rates with flexibility for an AM dealer and offer a collection and delivery service (covered).

I'm not aware of other local ones other than Bridge Mill or the Aston Heritage place up in Durham (who are more expensive than JCT - but they have some great classic restoration projects)

Interesting - what was that for? I've always found them cheaper than the main dealers across the board (service and repair work), even though they have the same status.

I asked the same thing recently and got the same answer JCT600. There is a place called post vintage aston near otley but so far they have not returned my emails.

Post Vintage have an excellent set up, I use them for storage of two cars - the workshop is cleaner than a lot of operating theatres. Not sure if they do contemporary Astons, my 1983 Vantage is with them and the cars they have in tend to be classics. Worth a call though

Agree with everything.

JCT600 did 3 services for me at very competitive rates, collected every time and fought my corner when the dreaded 'wing mirror paint issue' arose post warranty. Cost me nowt
