DB9 Service Question

[Bluesman66]

I purchased my DB9 earlier in the year and have just received an email from stratstone saying that the service is due September 12th - is the service interval time based or will i get a service light/indicator come up on the dashboard ?

i want to make sure i keep the service history complete bit don't want to spend money unnecessarily

any suggestions/comments?

My recollection is that the service is due annually....

I think it annually too but maybe call them and ask or check the owners manual?

Careful... I took my DB9 in for a service earlier this year and ended up buying Vantage V12S....

Hello Richard,

The service is due annually or at 12,000 miles and an indicator will come on the dashboard 12 months since the last service / reset.

Your user guide / service booklet should have been stamped at the last service.

Regards,

Sean

I would get a price quote before you go in too and get some pricing from an independant or you may well get royally shafted for a service you do not really need. They will be happy to service your car at an extorsional cost however low the mileage. You can always reset the service indicator yourself on the dash and do the service yourself if you are capable and not willing to pay the extra £500+ for the rubber stamp in your service book.

Thanks all for the information

I will check the date of last service and await the service light

I will also check with a few independents - any suggestions on a good on in Sussex?

There is a thread about servicing your own supercar https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

The only issue for me is the effect on resale.

A few hundred saved on MD/Indy service stamps probably results in a good few grand lost at sale time.
