Hi Guys,

I'm new to the Aston world and would like to know if any of you use a non dealer shop in the Los Angeles area for service? If so can you please recommend??

Thanks!

Not one reply??

Well, my car is showing "Time for normal service" when I turn it off, which I think may be the 2 year service (I just bought an '06).

The car however has only been driven 3,000 miles in the last three years so the owner before me only changed the oil and part of a recommended spark plug job.

I'd like to bring the car up to speed in maintenance, (yes I know the $$ involved) so any recomendations will help.

Also, I assume they change the air filters? If this is true then I'd like to order the RSC filters for the car.

The service warning message usually comes up after 1 yr or 10k. The OEM air filters are required to be replaced on the annual service. A pair of RSC performance filters will last at least 5 years.

If you're up for a longer drive, John Ryan at New Tickford Street Service in San Diego is your man. AM Factory trained technician has his own Aston Specialist Garage. Can't say enough good things about him.
