AM Cardiff replaced by New Bristol dealership
Discussion
Stratstones Cardiff told me last month that their dealership would cease. Now got an email announcing the new showroom etc at Bristol. Anyone have any experience of Dick Lovets? I' bought the car from Cardiff and always used them for servicing and warranted work with no issues.
It will be 3 years old this September so I could change to an independent, and this is more tempting as the extra distance to Bristol means I may as well go further afield. Thoughts?

That's a shame as I have just bought my vantage from Cheltenham but Cardiff would be my local-ish dealer.
Dick Lovett has a good reputation and a nice Ferrari / classic operation in Swindon. Not used them myself but a friend bought an F355 from them and got good service.
They should be good.

Aston Martin Bristol Opening in July
Dear Martyn O'connor
2016 has already seen a number of high profile announcements from Aston Martin. Highlights include the global launch of the stunning new DB11, the announcement of the race-inspired Vantage GT8 and the technical partnership with Red Bull Racing to create the ultimate road-going hypercar, AM-RB001. There was also the announcement of a significant investment into a new production facility in St Athan, Wales, which will be the home of DBX, our crossover vehicle, with production due to begin in 2020.
Earlier in the year we also announced our plans to open Aston Martin Bristol and I am pleased to confirm this state of the art, purpose-built facility will join the Aston Martin network in July.
The dealership will be operated by Dick Lovett, who bring with them a wealth of experience in the luxury automotive sector. Aston Martin Bristol will deliver a showroom and a customer experience befitting of the Aston Martin brand, with first class customer service from a dedicated and passionate team.

I stuck a mini post about it a while back. You must have missed it:
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... (I'll take some proper photos when I can).
From what I've been told by Stratstone staff and others, it was one of the most successful dealerships in the world, let alone the UK. The service has always been great for me, so I'm surprised and annoyed by this news.

3 years ago when I collected my new car they were all jolly having won an award for selling the 2 nd largest number of Astons in the world! (For that quarter or month...can't remember which). The salesman I dealt with left shortly afterwards and recently the sales staff have seemed rather disinterested. Too busy writing things down to come and talk to you in the showroom etc. Never met the Dealer principal despite having bought 2 cars and visited many times.
The service guys have always been great though.

Sad news. Both sales and service teams have been great from my experience. Bought 2 Of the 3 I've owned from here and always found their servicing dept better than my two other experiences elsewhere around the country.
I'm sure that they will still service my car as an independent, very much like they do the lotus cars now, when they used to be a lotus dealer...
