Back in June, during the height of the CDK hacking disaster, I stopped by Aston Martin Newport Beach and got to meet Jeff West, the dealership’s General Manager, along with Tim Shelton, the Brand Specialist. Tim's enthusiasm for the DB12 was evident from the start as he unlocked two for me to look over. I encourage you to ride over to Aston Martin Newport Beach and let Jeff or Tim answer any questions you may have about the entire Aston Martin line up.
