Hi Guys,

I hope that you are all well. It has come to that moment when I need to replace my clutch frown I have had a look at Bramford Rose and they are a trusted supplier but they are too far away especially in the current climate. Vantage have quoted the same price for their clutch and flywheel upgrade and just wanted to see if anyone here has used them?

Thanks

Hi All,

I thought I would update this post as I finally got round to booking in the car for some work and I decided to go with Vantage Engineering.

I decided to pop down to the workshop unannounced to see what they were all about and wow was I glad that I did! Terry gave me a tour of the workshop along with the a look at some of the most amazing cars I've ever seen under one roof. What was apparent from Terry was the passion to not only the business but each and every car that comes into their care.

I decided to book my 2006 Vantage in for a service along with a new twin-plate clutch and a Quicksilver catalyst. The communication was excellent and emails were responded to by Rob in minutes not hours. I did receive one nasty shock which was that a couple dampers needed replacing but the way that this was communicated to me was very sensitive along with a couple options. One of the options was to have the "Vantage Engineering" designed adjustable dampers that Terry had shown me during my tour which is what I went for.

When I picked up the car it was beautifully presented with lots of little things like the boot being adjusted so that it is aligned all done without even asking, it was these little things that really put a smile on my face but the biggest smile was that the car had been overhauled and with the new clutch and the new dampers (which have been expertly setup to my requirements) the car is spectacular and like a new beast.

Long story short, am I glad that I went to Vantage Engineering? Yes and I would highly recommend these guys to anyone that has an Aston that needs work doing or at least go down and see them as the workshop alone is a beautiful piece of artwork in its own right.

Thank you to all the guys in the posts above as it seems that they all also had a great experience.
