The Aston Martin Dealer wants $40,000 to Fix my Flooded V12 DBS! Let’s try this $50 DIY Repair…

1. If you or someone you know has ANY access to an Aston Martin Diagnostic tool (AMDS) please contact me samcracauto@gmail.com

2. I give you big props for patient diligence pal!

3. Aston-Martin of Tampa Bay is a typical stealership.

4. world gone mad

5. yeah 15:15 where did the cow come from, lol.

6. What happened to this car? I can’t find any more videos on it.

7. After market ECU

8. Do you still have this car

9. Where are the other videos of the finished project

10. Link to the next part?

11. Nowadays you can buy a car or even some farm machinery, but with all the computer stuff installed you don't really 'own' the car. Home repairs are almost impossible. Manufactures 'update' their software all the time and stop 'supporting' data as recently as two years old. Therefore, repair costs continue to soar. Anti-trust legislation is needed to stop these ripoffs. In theory, if this system had been in place in 1957 your beautiful finned Chevrolet Bel-Air would still be dependent of General Motors for repairs.

12. Sam did you ever get this fixed with replacement boards. Can we see videos please😉?????

13. Ergo the nickname, "Stealership"

14. ride a bus once worry free

15. hi Sam how r u i'm Godfrey from South Africa I would like to know,what happend to the flooded DBS did u manage to fix it?

16. Aston Martin Vanquish is a car I'd sacrifice my uncle's arm and kidney to just lease for a couple months. But IF IT HAS A SINGLE FORD PART INSIDE OF IT. OR ON THE OUTSIDE. It's garbage in my opinion and the facts proven by Ford many years of producing complete garbage

17. Sam, there are a LOT of shady dealerships such as this and mechanic shops.
    I took my dirt bike to a mechanic, asking them to get it to start. 2nd weeks later I get a call and they say they cannot fix it. I go to pick it up and I get a bill for 380 dollars. They listed that they did a tank flush, changed gear oil, and did a carb rebuild. I didn’t ask them to do anything like that, and I also ALREADY did those service things myself before I even took it to them.
    After 30 min of arguing my bill was dropped down to $50, which I paid.
    My point is these clowns tried to chacharge me for things they didn’t do, and that I already spent time fixing.
    Mechanic shops take advantage of people that do not understand how engines work. Which is most people. 10s of thousands of dollars spent on nonsense. And no one is the wiser.
    Thank god for people like you calling these assholes out!!!! U rock! Also bad ass content my friend. U are a story teller 😎

18. Those stupid fools selling a $70 part for $900. But yeah it's fucked you need to replace ALL the wiring in that car that was below the water level

19. Too much advertising bla bla man

20. Over a year since this was posted. No follow up. Is this normal … not even a ‘we couldn’t fix it so we sold it for spares’?

21. People become so lazy to work even if you paid or ready to paid fairy price.

22. Cut the connectors off a Volvo expecting to replace them in the DBS? Splicing will take north of 60 hours and be a hack job at that. Part it out and be done with it.

23. Bottom line is these cars are for rich people, not people who are cost conscious. They're not interested in dealing with people who are trying to save money….and they really don't need to. The one month wait tells you that. Sad but true.

24. This situation is a case in point for "right to repair" legislation.

25. These 2000% parts markups from these exotic car manufactures are over-the-top insulting and downright abusive. Especially considering that they are generic parts sourced from the majors.

26. Should have gone Elon on that dealer. Tell em GFY!

27. Can't you copy the software from some other Aston Martin?

28. Any updates on this car?

29. Did Sam manage to finnish this job?

30. Name and shame them

31. What happened to this car?
