Aston Martin Works Service has extended its body & accident repair centre, based in Newport Pagnell, creating the largest specialist Aston Martin repair facility in the world.

The extension sees the facility doubling in size. Kingsley Riding-Felce, director, Aston Martin customer care & works service, says: “In light of the increasing demand for Aston Martin models we felt it was the right time to extend our repair facility and ensure that we are equipped to provide the best possible service to customers.”

Aston Martin recently launched its latest model, the V8 Vantage, at the Geneva Motor Show, with the intention to take production closer to 5,000 cars a year. “We are now in the process of training our staff to prepare them for the V8 Vantage,” says Riding-Felce.

With more than 40 years experience, the works service team offers accident repair, servicing, maintenance and even full restoration capabilities to Aston Martin owners. In 2004, more than 2,000 customers called upon its expertise, approximately 15% of which related to body and accident repair.
