Anyone else flinch when the brake wear light comes on in a Vantage? Because I just did

Post by davidwarner »

So I'm cruising down the Corniche last night windows down listening to that V8 do its thing and suddenly the little yellow brake wear indicator pops up on the dash and I swear my heart rate tripled because the last time I ignored something like that on a British car it turned into a four week saga waiting for parts to clear customs. It's a 2019 Vantage and I knew the pads were getting down there based on the mileage but I kept putting it off thinking I'd handle it when the weather cooled down a bit but of course the car had other plans. I started digging around online trying to find a place that actually knows how to lift these things without cracking the carbon skirts and that's when I realized I should probably just book your car service appointment now before I end up on a flatbed during rush hour. I saw that alzaabiautocare handles Aston stuff and honestly the idea of not having to explain to a service advisor what a Vantage is sounds like a massive relief. I'm just hoping the rotors are still within spec because I really don't want to see that line item on the invoice if I can avoid it. Anyone else done brakes on theirs recently and have a ballpark on what the wait time for parts was like here in Abu Dhabi?
