Why are Aston Martin repair costs so high?
Aston Martin is currently a niche supercar brand worldwide, with a relatively low overall number of vehicles in circulation. Industry estimates generally put its cumulative global sales at around a few hundred thousand units, far below those of mainstream luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Porsche.
Due to the limited number of vehicles in circulation, they are rarely found on the market, resulting in long lead times, low stock levels and high prices for genuine parts. Should a vehicle be involved in a collision or require repairs, repair shops often face long waiting times for parts and limited procurement channels.
●Genuine parts are expensive
Many Aston Martin parts are bespoke designs, such as bumpers, headlights, front windshield, suspension systems and electronic modules, and are significantly more expensive than those for common vehicles.
● Costly specialist repair labor charges
Repairs to Aston Martins typically require a luxury car service centre or a brand-authorised repair centre, with labour rates often ranging from US$150 to US$300 per hour.
● Complex electronic systems
such as the DB11, Vantage and DBX are equipped with a wide range of electronic driver-assistance systems and intelligent control modules, resulting in higher costs for fault diagnosis and repairs.
This is one of the key reasons why repair costs for Aston Martins have remained consistently high.
Can repair costs be reduced by using OEM Aston Martin parts from dismantled vehicles?
The answer is yes.
An increasing number of aston martin owners, insurance companies and accident repair workshops are opting to use original OEM used parts, which maintain the original manufacturer’s quality whilst significantly reducing repair costs.
Particularly for components such as bumpers, headlights, doors, rearview mirrors, suspension systems and body panels, using high-quality used parts can often save between 30% and 70% on repair costs.
