Aston Martin Is
Grand Touring, Kept.
Five Aston Martins are in our system, and we know them individually: two DB9s, two Vantages, and a Vanquish that has trusted us six times. Gaydon’s cars are maintained here the way they were built there — patiently, by the schedule — with a genuine-parts line into England through Scuderia when the part is not in Miami.
From our own service records, October 2026 — a very short list, kept very well. Not a brochure — a workload.
Every Aston, Known by Name.
We service these cars from model year 2015 on. Earlier cars, classics included, are not our work; we admire them in photographs and in stories. Near the line? Call us, and we will tell you honestly if we can help.
DB9
The V12 grand tourer that defined the modern house — oil coolers, transmission sumps, brake-fluid bleeds and the electrical detective work a twenty-year-old GT eventually requests.
Vantage
The sports car of the family — our 2012 V8’s Sportshift transaxle is a repeat guest, and the current car’s AMG-hearted V8 speaks a language our bench already knows.
Vanquish
The flagship V12 — oil services, the ignition kit, tires and mounting: six orders of steady keeping, not one emergency.
What We Do on Aston Martins, Every Week.
SPORTSHIFT TRANSAXLE
The Vantage’s automated-manual box, serviced twice in our records — fluid, calibration and the patience it demands.
OIL COOLER & SUMP
A DB9’s oil-cooler replacement with its transmission sump service — the V12’s plumbing, renewed together.
ELECTRICAL DETECTIVE WORK
A short circuit traced through a DB9’s amplifier and module harness — found with a meter and a method, not a parts cannon.
IGNITION KITS
The Vanquish’s ignition kit, removed and renewed — coils and plugs treated as the system they are.
BRAKE FLUID & BATTERIES
Full brake-fluid bleeds and battery service on the DB9s — on Astons, half of reliability is voltage.
OIL SERVICES & REAR PADS
The Vantage’s maintenance visits with cabin and air filters — the quiet work that keeps a GT honest.
The Gaydon Schedule, Kept.
Source: Aston Martin’s published maintenance schedule for the Gaydon cars — a service every 12 months or 10,000 miles, anchored by a 131-point inspection.
Annual service — 131 points
Oil, filters and the full 131-point inspection Gaydon prescribes. The car is read as a whole, not a list.
Fluids & filters
Brake fluid and the filter set join the annual rhythm.
Drive belts
Accessory belts renewed before they audition.
Gearbox oil
Transaxle oil for the Sportshift and automatic cars — the shift quality lives here.
Coolant & thermostat
Full coolant renewal — and the V8 Vantage’s thermostat with it.
Coil packs, then plugs
Coils at the sixth year, spark plugs at the seventh — the V12’s ignition, renewed in order.
Specialist note: these cars punish storage and reward use. Miami’s humidity attacks what the schedule cannot see — battery health, backup sounders and rubber. Our annual visit tests all three, because an Aston that sits is an Aston that ages twice.
Common Failures. Already Fixed Here.
SPORTSHIFT MOODS
Harsh shifts and hunting gears — fluid, calibration and clutch wear read in that order.
COIL PACK MISFIRES
The schedule replaces them at year six for a reason — the Vanquish’s ignition kit is on our books.
OIL COOLER LEAKS
The DB9’s cooler and sump — a known weep, fixed as a pair of jobs in one visit.
HARNESS SHORTS
An amplifier circuit that took down a DB9’s audio and more — traced, repaired, documented.
BATTERY & SOUNDER DRAIN
The backup-battery sounder that quietly empties the main battery — small part, classic Aston story.
THINKING OF BUYING ONE?
Clutch and transaxle read, a leak census, the ignition state and the service history audited — in writing, before you buy. SEE THE PPI →
Aston Martin has gone bankrupt seven times and refused to die eight — because the cars are worth saving. A Le Mans winner that became cinema’s most famous GT, built in a Newport Pagnell-and-Gaydon line that still finishes cars by hand. We keep them the same way.
“An Aston Martin is not maintained. It is kept — the way you keep a promise, or a vineyard.”

Your Aston Martin Belongs Here.
A very short list, kept very well, at 3970 NW 27th Street. Yours would be in good company.
