I love this place! While you get your Aston Martin serviced you can take a stroll through the garage and see all of the Aston Martin cars new and old. Sometimes I just want to trade my car such beautiful cars

I've just had my 2006 Vantage serviced here & was very impressed with the whole set up, from the staff, the showroom & workshops, everything was excellent. They carried out all the work I required & at a very reasonable cost. Many thanks to all the staff that spent time showing me around & the food at the nearby Black Horse Pub was great plus we got a 25 discount off the cost of lunch as a first time customer of the Aston Workshops. 10/10
