Just brought a DB9 over from Dubai and need a proper Aston shop in Abu Dhabi that won't treat it like a spaceship
Relocated from Dubai to Abu Dhabi about two months ago for work and I brought my 2007 DB9 with me which I've owned for a few years now and absolutely adore but finding a new garage that I actually trust with this thing is proving to be way more stressful than I expected because in Dubai I had my guy who only did Astons and Maseratis and now I'm back to square one in a new city and the idea of just picking a random place out of Google Maps makes me genuinely queasy. The car is due for an annual service and there's a tiny weep from the front timing cover which is apparently just what these V12s do when they're feeling nostalgic for your wallet but I need someone who knows these cars well enough to not over tighten the sump plug or use the wrong coolant or do any of the hundred little things that can turn a simple oil change into a nightmare on a bonded aluminum chassis. I've been asking around in a few local UAE owners groups and a couple of the Abu Dhabi guys mentioned a trusted aston martin service center abu dhabi that actually has the proper AMDS diagnostic software and a tech who's been working on Gaydon era cars for over a decade which is exactly the kind of specific knowledge I'm looking for because I don't want to be the guinea pig for some shop that mostly does Range Rovers and thinks a DB9 is just a fancy Ford. Anyone else in the capital keeping an older Aston on the road and found a place they genuinely recommend for the routine stuff that keeps these cars happy without the main dealer premium?
