Then why did I see a horn growing out of my bonnet on the DB9 hilarioushilarious Or maybe you let Chip Foose get near it (see Adam Carolla's DB9, poor thing).

If/when I finally get a Vantage, I have absolutely no intention of wasting money on the dealer service. AMs are cars, not unicorns, a competent and trained mechanic can work on any of these vehicles, no extra "green" lubrication required.

I live in Sacramento, so pseudo Bay Area. Stuart's Automotive in Sacramento has a couple of factory trained AM techs. They also specialize in Ferrari and Lamborghini along with Rover. Ask for Matt the GM. Recently had an incredible experience when I picked up my DB9. They performed the pre - purchase inspection. Unknown to Matt, I work in the auto industry and discovered they were very transparent and honest. Their service ( and the fact they had several high end exotics in their shop for service ) has made me a life long customer.

I think your two Bay Area AM dealers are in Los Gatos and Marin, but would imagine there are some independents somewhere in between.
