Was a bit shocked today when I was quoted the normal annual service cost for an Aero 8. Appreciate it's not your normal run of the mill car and it appears some bodywork has to be removed
Can I ask what aero owners expect to pay for an annual service and any recommendations of specialists around Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire areas please.
I'm assuming any cars I view, should have a service every year, from a reputable Morgan garage / specialist ?

Dave what were you quoted?
From memory typical cost for me has been £600 -£700 for the annual service, sometime a little more if parts needed.
Given the cost of servicing most super cars and even TVR's seems a fair price.

I suppose the factory would be a good place to start - try speaking to Mark Baldwin. Alternatively, Williams can probably help.

Good to see some lower numbers.
Can I ask if these services included steps such as wings off etc, as recommended by factory for an annual service, or are they a subset of work carried out ? Just trying to establish why I was quoted so much more.
Dave.

. This is circa what I paid last year for a service at the factory. I don't have the bill to hand but will check tomorrow. Unless you get hit by a hefty parts bill (unusual), and even then the parts aren't generally expensive, your figure of £2,500 seems excessive.
