I would like to purchase a lightly used Aston Martin Vantage but have concerns regarding getting it serviced and upgraded. I would greatly appreciate it if I could get a few recommendations for quality independent garages either in Savannah or Brunswick or anywhere in between. Thanking you in advance for your assistance.

 

maybe Jacksonville... we have a family house on saint Simon's island and our house vehicle, range rover, had to get serviced in Jacksonville. several members here live in NE Florida...

 

Thank you MRCW. I’m still hoping for someone closer than JAX but that may be my closest option.

 

Jax is a no go for Aston independent service. We do have Pulse Racing here and they work on exotics, but the owner declined to call back on working on mine. The nearest dealer to you to the south is in Orlando.

Edit: If anyone tells you World Imports in Jax will work on it, they’re absolutely abysmal in every conceivable way, and are little more than a shady luxury used car lot.

 

Thank you PFTF. That is my main concern with acquiring one of these beauties is finding a qualified mechanic.

I want to avoid a dealership unless it is absolutely necessary due to their price gouging.

Has as anyone heard of JFrazar Sports Car Services in Savannah? I plan to stop by there next week and take a look around.

 

If you use them or have any opinions on them, please post here and let us know what you think so others can visit them.

 

I most certainly will PFTF.

I heard of them online from a gentleman selling one of his Ferrari’s in the Savannah area. He indicated that he has his fleet of exotic cars serviced there and that you will usually see Aston’s, Roll’s and Bentley’s parked in front of the shop. I do not know this gentleman but he seemed to be genuine. I’ll report my findings after I visit the shop next week.

 

In my quest to find a qualified Aston mechanic I visited JFrazar Sports Car Services in Savannah GA. I talked with Joe the owner and although his main business is Ferrari’s, Maserati’s, Rolls and Bentley’s, he has maintained Aston’s in the past and is very familiar with them. As mentioned in a previous post, he came highly recommended and would not hesitate to use him.

Joe can be reached at (912) 355-4563

Thanks for digging into this. We live in Brunswick, GA. We had our 2007 V8V for almost 4 years now and so far I haven't had a need to use a dealer or indy for service, as I've been able to do the work (basic stuff - brakes, fluid changes, door struts, thermostat, rear tail lights etc) but good to know there is someone just up the road we can call on.

If you live nearby would be good to get together sometime. I've only seen a couple of Astons in town in the 4 years we've been here and they have been from out of state.

I’ll send you a PM Kevin.

 

If there's a group drive anywhere around Brunswick I might be up as well, I'm only about an hour south of there.
