Shop hours for 2nd annual Vantage service

Does anyong know how many hours I should expect to be charged for my 2n annual service. I already had the brake flush pefromed so I would expect oil and filter, change pollen filter and the other prescribed checks.

When I paid for 24hr of Aston web site access, I should have downloaded the PDF that list the shop hours. Does anyone have this document?

The shop hours is not on that website for services. The best time I can suggest is 2-4 hrs depends on the dealer or service shop.

There's no PDF..just a table list on the techinfo site..

24 mths or (20,000mls/32,000kms) = 3.85hrs

..this is just a estimated time for 4.7L..4.3L slightly longer in the oil change to replace the screen o-rings in the sump,..so this is not a fixed time

That seem reasonable. I was charged 10 hours for the 2nd annual, and I previously had the brake fluid flushed and changed out the wiper blades so that time was "deducted" Seems more than excessive, but it the last check while under warrantee, so I will perform the subsequent ones myself. I have a left at home and the only future task I do not think I can accomplish is the flush of the sportshift fluid, at least I am not sure if can be accomplished without special equipment.

I agree ten hours is much more than I expected especially since the brake fluid flush was already completed a few months ago. I feel like I was taken advantage of!

Well since it takes my a little over 2 hours anyway to get to Tyson Corner, that may be my best option for the future. PM me, on where you work so I can explore this option for the future. I can see ten hours for a clutch R & R, but for a oil change, R&R the pollen filter and a some checks; not so much.
