New Owner '06 Vantage

Brand new to me 2006 Vantage!

I'm in the Los Angeles area and would appreciate recommendations of qualified, independent shops from the San Fernando Valley to Orange county... any further would be difficult.

I'll be starting with a full fluid and filter service.

I'd certainly like to hear if there are Aston drives or events in So. Cal other than the well-known cars and coffee which of course I've attended with other cars.

Congrats. There is an independent shop in Pasadena, but I have never used and don't remember their name. Sunset GT used to be enjoyable years ago, but anymore it's just a mess and I don't think it's even safe anymore.

Welcome! I bought an ‘08 roadster in the fall and took it to Superformance on the westside for all the fluids, plugs, door struts, window regulator… a lot.

The seemed pretty familiar with this era vantages. I was happy with their work quality, speed (still took a couple weeks to get parts but that’s life these days) and communication. I wouldn’t say cheap but probably not dealer prices either.

Car looks great! I feel like there are more AM owners popping up in the LA area. I used to hang with a group that went on weekly drives and most of whom have already moved on.

Maybe it's time to get something going. Nothing crazy.

The independent Aston Martin service center in Pasadena is Pasadena Motor Cars (https://www.pasadenamotorcars.com/se.../aston-martin/). I haven’t used them but they seem to have a good reputation. Good luck with your new great looking Vantage.

I would certainly be up for an Aston drive or an Aston turn-out at one of the Cars & Coffee ...
