Anyone got a copy of the 'man hour' schedules? Would be nice to reference to check to see if I'm not getting ripped off by the dealer or whoever

It depends how you define 'ripped off'. If you are talking about an Aston dealer doing some major mechanical or electrical work, probably not. If you are talking about a $650 oil/filter change that any competent auto shop can do for far less, you are paying 'high retail' at an Aston dealer. Maybe it's just that they have a high overhead to cover, but, FWIW, most routine maintenance work can be done elsewhere at a lower cost if that is what you are referring to.

I'm talking about them quoting me the proper number of labor hours required to do a certain task
