Service books..........

[8Tech]

Anyone know if additional service pages are available for the original service books?

With a service every year since new, my service book is now completely full................at 27000 miles!!

I would like to add a couple of service pages to keep the history logged properly in the handbook, not rely on old invoices, and I cannot photocopy my pages as they are already stamped.

Yeah mine has only one space left too at 46000 miles.
Need to get one arranged well before the next service otherwise they have nowhere to stamp. Mind you they invariably forget to stamp the book so I always check before driving away.

The service books are very odd. Every 6 months of every 7.5K. How many Astons do 15K a year? particularly older cars.

If you cannot get new service pages, how about you photo copy one of the existing ones, tipex out all the unwanted stuff and then photo copy it again
to go in your handbook. If you take your time and have a steady hand, this could be an alternative?

Hello Neil,

Is the nod "They are available" or "I need some too"?

This was my reply from my local dealer........




The pages aren’t available separately, it’s a matter of buying another handbook which includes the pages (£156.00). Please let me know if you would like us to order one.

So, if anyone knows otherwise then please let me know where from.

Alternatively, if I got some extended period service pages professionally printed up to add to the books, in the same paper, layout and typeface used in the book, would there be any interest as just a couple would be silly expensive?

Robbing b'stards.

Before you do that, there are a couple of other options. Have a look at this recent thread: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=129...

thetees can either send you his file or Harwoods will supply extra pages for £7+VAT.

The yes was because its been asked before and dealers have confirmed it.

Just found the previous thread!

Tell your dealer they are robbing bds! £156.00!!!! Each page looks like its £7.00

Gerry, you have mail.

[Greenslade]

I have a service book you can have ( i'll check how many pages are left )
Car was stolen but kept this in the house rather than the glove box

PM me if your interested

[michael gould]

iv'e sent AM customer services a message ......lets see what response we get

[KarlFranz]

So let me get this straight: I take my car to the dealer for service. When they go to stamp the book they see the pages are full. So they tell me I have to buy a whole new leather bound handbook just so they can scavenge a few pages to add the stamp for the service they just did? Sounds a bit ludicrous.

[michael gould]

ive had a response from AM....they are looking into the matter ....watch this space

[drmw]

A bit like the old "I changed my car because the ashtray was full"

[3200gt]

If anyone wants to send me a scan of the page I can easily photo shop the older stamps out and email back what would appear to be a clean page.
Sold my DB9 a couple of years ago so don't have book to scan.

Reminds me of my youth when I was washing and cleaning cars at a dealership. One customer (travelling salesman, no lie) would trade his car for a new one of the same model every year. Of course he never washed it or cleaned it during the whole time he drove it. All ashtrays completely full...what an absolute stinking mess that I had the privilege of cleaning up.

[Phil74891]

If I was AM, I'd supply all my dealers with spare pages to cover such an eventuality. Just a little bit of extra customer service for very little money.......

£35.50????? For a few bits of paper that they should have supplied in the first place??? The robbing b'stards.

Did they think that Gaydon built cars were going to make it to a max of 8 years old before they fell apart? Idiots.

I have asked the nice man from Aston what one gets for £29.50....surprisingly he hasn't responded yet

update and reply from Aston:

"Dear Mr Gould

This is an 8 page Service Record Supplement.

Kind regards"
