I have a 2005 DB9 that I want to register in California, previously was registered in Florida. Can anyone help to advise what, if anything, would need to be changed to allow it to pass CA smog test?

Can anyone recommend a decent independent Aston mechanic in the Bay area?

 

Nothing. There is no special CA version.

 

There is no variation across continents let alone countries or counties

 

Great, can confirm that, the car passed smog first time. But it stalled the engine with some throttle position sensor error immediately after leaving the test center. Hasn't done that before or since.

 

Los Gatos Luxury Cars is the Bay Area's authorized service center. They have a good team and understand modern Aston's well. Ken Lovejoy is a fantastic independent service resource. Ken has worked on my cars for over 15 years and was the chief service mechanic for Walnut Creek and Los Gatos dealerships.

 

Hello, I live in the SF Bay Area looking for an independent Aston Martin mechanic. Can you give me Ken Lovejoy's contact information or shop location? Thank you.

 

I'm in nor cal too, I'd also love to have Ken's info Los Gatos is not easy for me to get to.
