MCL Alternatives for Aston maintenance
 
I have a massive maintenance coming up on a DB9 and wanted to see if there are any MCL alternatives that I should entertain.

I would look at what it would cost in Seattle. A lot of times the savings are so significant they offset the exchange rate and then some at this point.

I think sovereign motors would be able to service the newer astons as well.

should give them a call. DB9's are there of the norm.

Anyone else take their cars to the US for repairs/service?

Seems legit esp, if labor rates are lower...and parts too, now that I think about it/

I'd seriously consider dropping my e30 off in the states for any body work etc. that I want to have done

My uncle and his friend get their Vantages serviced in Seattle.

whats wrong with MCL? either way it won't be cheap just get it done locally. Keep our dollars in our Country as much as possible!

I have a friend that takes his Porsche across the border instead of MCL, says the savings are substantial.

I know Hesp Automotive in North Van, does Land Rovers, and theres a tightly knit english car community there. Perhaps inquire with them and they will point you in the right direction.

try Urban Garage in West Van on North Shore. they do service and sell Astons.

whats a massive maintenance?

an aston is not much different than most European cars. a reputable euro/indy shop should be able to.

maybe silk cat in north Vancouver?

there are many lowermainland shops that can do your AM maintenance. I would encourage you to do your research on parts (6sp online and pistonheads) because you can get the same jag/ford parts for 1/2 the cost of AM parts. Blitzkreig in Van can do your maintenance. There is nothing really tricky about AM maintenance.

i was going to suggest silk cat as well. i remember seeing older AMs in their service bay way back when my dad used to own a jag (RIP :( )

Yep, the LR3 has had work done in Bellingham. Save a few hundred each time and its a 30 min drive from my place.
