The cost was about $2500 .Which I know is not the best in the world but it's imo reasonable. I rather pay reasonble labor cost than having someone feel ****ty about getting shortchaged and not putting in 100% of the effort.

I did bring my own clutch. I am one of the first 50 people to receive the V2 velocity kit. So Passadena Motor Cars didn't have the V2 in stock. I literately got mine from Stuart right after the container arrived in Port.

I also brought my own oil in to do the annual service and asked that they combine the two jobs to save on the labor cost. They were able to work with me on that. Initially the anual service would come out to be 970 but got knocked down to $690 due to a combined job. And I was able to save some money by shopping around for a new credit card that had a good amount of introductory cash back offer.

I highly recommend going to them. Like I said he was very knowledgeable and made me feel at ease. Their staff are also not very pushy. He specializes in British (Aston, Jag, range Rover) as well as German exotics.

Hope this helps .

Thanks, I’ve been to them before with my previous Vantages but it’s been a while. I wonder if you got the AMR clutch from the dealer it might have been about the same price?

I had a quote for the AMR kit from Aston, which is around the same price. however the AMR kit is for manual only. so I was outta luck. hence I went with the Velocity kit.
