ASTON MARTIN INSPECTED THE WRECKED 2019 VANTAGE I REBUILT

Kudos to Aston Martin for actually allowing you to service the vehicle there. Pretty cool of them. Most manufacturers would simply say that the service doesn't apply to a rebuilt car.

Absolutely love Aston Martin. You've done an immaculate job on that car, which the service proved. Also well done to Aston Martin for encouraging people to work on their cars and helping them when needed. Some companies punish you by refusing to work on the car and then cutting them off the charging network.

@@realmusicreallife “famous”, like Aston would have that much to gain from a bunch of poor Lowlifes like us. Maybe we could buy some keychains from them.

[@christopherruddick88]

@@realmusicreallife as an owner the 4 AM dealers I have dealt with (including Nottingham) do go out of their way to help customers. That being said as Matt has hinted at though, parts prices for some parts are quite significant. The general bit being anything AM is pricey, Service parts are generally okay due to being mostly mercedes amg bits. Additionally, there tends to be lots of events to keep owners engaged with dealers throughout ownership - for example runs out locally or trips further away or just simply dropping by to nose at new models. I am 3 months into ownership of my Vantage, 3.5k miles covered, but already loving it. Test driven a dbx 707 and got another run out with other customers of said AM dealer I deal with.

A little story ..... I took my boy to an Aston Martin Dealership ( wont mention it in case they get in bother ) when he was about 8 / 9 years old . He loved Astons (via James Bond !) so , going to see them "close up " was a HUGE part of his birthday treat . My plan was just to walk around showing him close-ups of the cars outside "in the flesh" . Being Britain , five minutes before we arrived , it began to pour down with rain . 😞 .Bless him , that didn't dampen his enthusiasm . We arrived in summer clothing ( mid may ) and began to walk around in the rain . After a while , a salesman came out , with an Aston umbrella up and asked if I needed any help . He seemed genuinely interested in us . I explained it was just a birthday treat ( for my son ) and that I simply couldn't afford to buy . He asked us into the Showroom and very kindly brought us some hot drinks and biscuits . My son's eyes were just hanging out on stalks ( as were his Dad's ) , he just didn't know where to look first . After a while , the salesman came back having got approval from the Dealer Principal and began giving us a tour around A L L 😲 the cars in the showroom , letting Junior sit inside, as well . Honestly , this guy's kindness brought tears to my eyes for the pleasure he was giving my boy . When we came to leave, my son and I both expressed our gratitude , but the chap then iced the cake by giving my son an Aston baseball cap , DVD , and lots of photos / brochures of the cars . Now , that guy didn't earn a cent in commission from us , but in the bigger picture of things , that was probably one of the most important bits of salesmanship he will ever provide in his life..... Sammy is 27 now . He's currently deployed , serving King & Country . We still reminisce fondly of that Birthday . And he STILL keeps all the mementoes safely ! The friendliness of that Saleman will stay with me forever . And it needs to be said that his attitude could go a long , long way if adopted by "lesser" marque's salespeople . That last bit sounded awful , but I'm sure you know what I mean . Thank you for taking the time to read my sermon . And Mat , if you ever read this , please give your lovely four legged friend a big sloppy kiss from me ? ! Love your channel . You seem like a decent human being . A true collectors item .
