Aston Martin recommends a oil and brake fluid change every year. I forgot what the mileage recommendation was as I never meet that. I only put about 3k miles a year on mine.

I need to open up my own AM repair shop. The annual I do myself and its less than $100 in parts.

Your owners manual will have what is required every year. Most of that stuff you can do yourself. I would probably go with the first dealer as you seem to get more for your money. They include the brake fluid flush as required in their annual service for $755.
What fluid are they changing that requires a bi-annual change (it wasn't mentioned)? Per my owners manual brake and oil are done every year and coolant every 5 years. AM has the trans and diff fluid as filled for life but I would recommend changing it every 10 years or 30k miles which ever is first.

My 2005 owners manual says to change the brake fluid annually. However, I do agree this is excessive for a street car. You are fine changing the brake fluid every 2 years IMO.
