My car's up for it's 4 year service plus mot.

I have previously used Stratstone, but I wasn't too happy with the last service they did. I'm now looking at HR Owen as a possibility either Cheltenham or Reading, anyone on here used them and what experience have you had?

Thanks

Depending on how far you're willing to travel the folks at Chichester are fantastic - thoroughly recommended. Give Nigel Simmonds a call. He'll look after you smile

I had some warranty work carried out at AM Reading and they were fine. However as my car is a 2011 model decided now it's out of warranty to use Spellbound in Farnham http://www.spellboundcars.com/aston-martin-ferrari... give Andy Weller a call you won't be disappointed. Plus thier facilities are well worth a visit even if you don't have then service the car - they do everything from a bare metal restoration upwards!

My car was serviced there by the previous owner, and he spoke well of them. Having said that, part of the reason I own a Vantage now is because I kept walking past one in the car park every day at work and I know the lady that owns that had it serviced at Chichester (she'd owned it a year, so it was the first service in her ownership). There were a number of issues which meant it had to go back a day later - it put me off from using them.

Yep, I've used them for a couple of minor things now and been very impressed. It's where my car will go in a month or so for its service.

I've had my 9 serviced at H R Owen for the last 3 years, they have been good & I have not had any issues with them. Pricing has also been reasonable.

Just to add another recommendation. I use HWM, had good service recently. Great communication and all very efficient.

They have done three annual services for me.
Everything fine. You should be well looked after.

I am thinking though about trying an indie next time. It would only be on the basis, of asking a different doctor for a second health check opinion.

Clive - contact JCT600 in Leeds. They will do a better service at a more competitive price. They will even collect your car and return it. Not sure if Tina is still there?

You will retain a dealer stamp if that is important to you smile
