Seems excessive to me too.
If pads were more than 50% worn he asked for them to be replaced so that he didn't have to bring in again before next service. V8V Pete said:
If he wanted to throw money away he'd have been better off giving it to charity and paying the butler £50 to take it to have its pads (tyres, discs etc etc.) changed at a local Indy when they actually needed doing. There's "Full Service History" and there's being utterly fleeced by the Dealer. Don't get me wrong OP, you've got a great car out of this but please ……..
Absolutely I agree but if money is no object then I suppose why not. I should probably add that this was just his daily driver he has numerous other cars for "fun"

Consider yourself very lucky that the previous owner had all the "advisory" work done as well as the routine stuff. Many don't and simply want the stamp
Absolutely looking through all the invoices (I only listed large works) everything that was suggested or indeed remarked as may need in future was done straight away. Example being "slight corrosion on mirror replacement requested rather than repair"

Roll bars deployed & went through window / roof
Roof replaced & roll bars reset all under warranty.
Roof replaced & roll bars reset all under warranty.
I can recall a photo on this forum of a DB9 Volante with roll hoops through the rear window.
Don't think the car was your colour though.

Over £37k in maintenance in 8 years? That is verging into 'more money than sense' territory.I should probably add that this was just his daily driver he has numerous other cars for "fun"
I bet he also bought all of his tyres from the dealer too...

Why did the roll hoops deploy?
Brakes, discs and tyres look nuts to me too.
Those two items to me would have made me very wary....but I guess some people could just do daft things at service time.
Went over hump bridge too fast & suspension travel went too far causing deployment although car didn't take off. Brakes, discs and tyres look nuts to me too.

He refused roof repair & had full replacement.
