AM repair Kent/Surrey/W.Sussex borders

[CB83]

Evening all,

Recently moved out of London to East Surrey and looking for a garage to take my V8V to, clutch is finally on its deathbed.

Any recommendations either AM or indy?

Cheers
Chris

Just in case you are unaware, many choose to have a twin plate version fitted at clutch change time.
Pedal far lighter, clutch wear will be more gradual.

The only downside is that you might experience a little more gearbox chatter at tickover and at very low revs.

Pugsley and lewis in beckenham....

How far are you from Sevenoaks? There is an official dealer there.

I'd highly recommend Trinity Engineering. A great team and really passionate about AM's

You're probably close enough that Works will send a truck for you? Give the modern workshop a ring and ask Simon.

should try Richard Williams, Cobham, but with all these things get a quote......

I am in Bexleyheath and have used Aston Martin Sevenoaks very helpful but maybe a bit of a wait as they always seem busy I am about to give Pugsley and lewis a try as I have a traction control warning after meeting a pothole will keep you updated.

Hi Mike,

(it's Mark off the AMOC Vanquish forum)

I heard Richard is pretty much retired now from RS Williams

Thanks for the input all, got a shortlist to call round this afternoon.

[Throttle Body]

You might try JH Pearce & Co near Chobham. I haven't used them, but might do so when the next service comes up.

[CB83]

Thanks again for the input all. managed to scrape a few quotes together. Fitted inclusive of VAT.

AM Sevenoaks - £4,700
Trinity - £4,000
AHM - £3,400

Point of reference if anyone is looking in future.

Gordon Bennett that’s a lot of dough for a clutch.

Agreed. Is that the same item across all three companies or twin plate with one and single plate another?

[CB83]

They are indeed..All twin plate & flywheel. Managed 36k without needing replacement, which from what I've read is quite spectacular!

Re my previous post concerning my meeting with a pothole and dsc service lights on just got it back from Pugsley & lewis great service and reasonable cost would recommend you give them a look for your clutch I will be taking it back for servicing etc.

Did speak with Pugsley & Lewis and they referred me to AHM as they wouldn't do the clutch replacement themselves.
