Aston Martin main dealer servicing possibilities, with McGurk Performance Cars’ levels of care and attention.
McGurk Performance Cars has added AMDS 2 (Aston Martin Diagnostic System 2) to its servicing department, opening up the workshop to customers with the most recent Aston Martin models. The new equipment makes McGurk Performance Cars the only independent Aston Martin specialist able to offer the possibility of servicing all Aston Martins. “While we’ve had AMDS 1 forever for our servicing work on older Aston Martins, we’ve just made a substantial investment to obtain AMDS 2, this latest diagnostic equipment allowing our servicing technicians to maintain not just the pre-DB9 models, but also offer servicing for Aston Martins coming straight from the main dealership showroom,” says McGurk Performance Cars owner, John McGurk.
AMDS 2 is not usually available outside Aston Martin franchised dealerships, McGurk Performance Cars being the only independent Aston Martin specialist with no factory association to be able to offer this cutting-edge diagnostic servicing equipment.
“It’s been a lot of hard work obtaining it, but while we’ve been waiting for its arrival, we’ve prepared by adding key staff appointments,” says McGurk. Aston Martin Master Technician, Gary Cosby, joined McGurk Performance Cars earlier this year, Cosby being an expert in both using AMDS 2 as well as training technicians how to use it. McGurk says “it’s all very well having the equipment, but it’s vital to have the right people to use it, and we have those people.” Other recent new key staff appointment, Workshop Manager, Simon Thorpe, anticipates being busier than ever with customers now able to bring any Aston Martin to McGurks for regular servicing and maintenance.
While the AMDS 2 equipment opens up the servicing opportunity to all, it, usefully, also allows the most thorough preparation and examination of all the cars that are available for sale within the McGurk Performance Cars showroom. The existing AMDS 1 equipment covers Aston Martins up to the Rapide and DB9, with AMDS 2 picking up from the DB11, through models like the 4.0 Vantage, DBS Superleggera, the latest Zagato models and right up to the DBX, and beyond – with AMDS 2 being regularly updated as Aston Martin adds new derivatives to its line-up.
“We made the decision to explore the possibility of getting AMDS 2 equipment almost a year ago now, because as the UK’s largest independent Aston Martin specialist for both sales and servicing it was becoming increasingly apparent that to allow us to deliver our expert levels of care and service to all Aston Martin owners that we needed to invest in the very latest equipment,” says McGurk.
With its new AMDS 2 diagnostic equipment McGurk Performance Cars can now offer its renowned personal expertise and attention to detail to owners of Aston Martins of all eras, giving customers an alternative to the vagaries of care and the expense of main dealer servicing. McGurk explains: “We’ve spent many years building up a loyal customer base who appreciate us looking after their cars, and with AMDS 2 we no longer have to turn them away if they bring us a newer Aston Martin model, which is a win-win for all concerned.” For serving bookings, for any Aston Martin, please contact….. we’ll be only too happy to book you in.
