Independent Aston Martin maintenance, diagnostics and repair in Al Quoz, Dubai, for Vantage, DB and DBS models, with the work agreed after inspection.


Long idling in summer traffic loads the cooling system and the air conditioning at the same time. Have the coolant, the radiators and the condenser checked before the hot months, and keep the car on a battery conditioner whenever it stands.
Aston Martin schedules a service every year or at a set mileage, whichever comes first, so a car that covers little distance still needs its yearly oil, filters and checks. Cars that stand for weeks also need the battery looked after between visits.
Scheduled maintenanceThe naturally aspirated V8 and V12 wear out coil packs and spark plugs, which shows as a misfire under load; on the V12 the coils sit under the intake manifold, so it is a long job. The newer twin-turbo engines depend on healthy cooling and charge-air circuits.
Engine repairSportshift is an automated manual, and its clutch wears like any manual's: jerky take-offs or a gearbox warning often mean the clutch needs adapting or replacing. The Touchtronic automatics shift better for longer with fresh fluid.
Gearbox repairA flat battery is the commonest Aston Martin complaint: the car draws current while parked, and after a deep discharge the windows and seats can lose their settings. An abnormal drain is found by measuring it, circuit by circuit.
Battery & electricsLong idling in summer loads the condenser and the cooling fans together. Cooling that is weak at a standstill and better on the move usually points to airflow through the condenser or to the fans, not to the gas level.
A/C serviceAston Martin paint is deep and fairly soft, on aluminium and composite panels. Machine polishing takes care, and stone chips on the low nose are easier to prevent with film than to repair.
Car detailingOn a used Aston Martin the service history matters more than the mileage: yearly services, clutch condition on Sportshift cars, coil packs, battery history and the state of the cooling hoses.
Pre-purchase inspectionIt depends on the model, its age and what is due: an annual oil service is a smaller job than one with spark plugs and coils, which on the V12 sit under the intake manifold. We look at the car and its history first and agree the estimate before any work.
Regular checks of the coil packs, the clutch on Sportshift gearboxes and the cooling hoses, which age with time as well as distance.
Its electronics keep drawing current while the car is parked. A battery conditioner keeps it charged; if the battery still drains, measuring the draw finds the circuit responsible.
