Looking at getting into Aston ownership for the first time and one thing I do like doing is doing all the servicing, maintenance etc on my own cars. Question is, does anyone actually work on their own cars and if so is it a negative when selling? How well are the cars catered for partswise by specialists.

Thanks for the replies. At the end of the day it's just a car bolted together like other cars and I have no issues taking it apart and putting it back together as that is what I have done for over 30 years. I did all the servicing and restoration on the Ferrari's I have owned and that didn't appear to impact on the resale but the Aston will be a lot newer than those. I am lucky enough to have a fully equipped workshop and bodyshop to do this but that said I know some people just don't like these sort of cars touched by anyone not wearing the correctly badged overalls. It's refreshing to know that there are others out there that do work on their own cars. Thanks for the video heads up I will certainly look at them.

Does anyone have a preferred Indy parts supplier or are these just dealer only?
