Where do you service your vantage in the bay area?

[mdc]

Cole european no longer sell AM. Los Gatos... I was told they are in transition to new ownership. Which mean the only dealer left is Corte Madera. That is 1:15 hr drive away. If I were to look into an 2010 vantage, what do i do, where do I go? My main concern is always the services needed for the car. How is 09 reliability and build quality compare to 06 to 08? I been looking at Vantage for many years, there were a lot of them at Los Gatos. How is the price on 2010? Are they giving a decent break?

Los Gatos is still taking care of AM and I doubt they will stop doing that. Their sales was talking to me about offering vantage V12 next year.

I just had a great experience with SVAG's / Los Gatos Aston Martin service with my 09 Vantage. I hope they will keep maintaining Aston Martin.

Do u have the 09 V8? But the last I heard they are not taking any more new orders as some auto group from SF is buying them?

Any idea on how is the sales for the 09 V8V?

How do u like the V8V sop far, any issues? Did you get it at a decent deal?

I absolutely love my AMV8. Everything works great and I'm very satisfied with the performance / sport shift transmission. The only thing is that I wish the car was making a little more noise. I haven't tried to pull the exhaust fuse yet. I bought mine in Orange County. I got it for MSRP - 20% I suspect I could have done a little better but not that much.

U bought one from stock? Or order one? I know they were giving heavy discount on 08 because the parking lot is filled with 08 before the revised V8V came out. Not sure what the parking lot looks like now.

It was from some dealer stock.

So how does the services contract work? Or do you have to pay SVAG each time you bring it there. Are you on the amoc.org? My main concern is there is inconsistency with build quality. Some has nothing but problems, some has no issues at all.

You can get your car serviced at any AM dealer. So really you can buy your car anywhere in the US. I had a small problem with the electric seat and Los Gatos AM fixed it under warranty without any problem.

I'm not a member of amoc.org yet.

I'll echo the positive feedback about the service from SVAG/Los Gatos. I bought my '09 roadster there and brought it in for a few minor warranty issues and they took care of those promptly.

Does anyone have more details about the new owner?

If one is interested in looking into a 2010, what is the best way/best deal. Search ebay? The only remaining dealer now is Marin, that is a little far
