ASTON MARTIN INSPECTED THE WRECKED 2019 VANTAGE I REBUILT 

I’ve been a mechanic for 25 years, seeing what you can do, and having the confidence to do it. Mat you can definitely call yourself a mechanic.🤙🛠

Full credit to you and Aston Martin, They could have stuck their nose up but helped out whenever they could,

Kudos to Aston Martin for actually allowing you to service the vehicle there. Pretty cool of them. Most manufacturers would simply say that the service doesn't apply to a rebuilt car.

Absolutely love Aston Martin. You've done an immaculate job on that car, which the service proved. Also well done to Aston Martin for encouraging people to work on their cars and helping them when needed. Some companies punish you by refusing to work on the car and then cutting them off the charging network.

Aston Martin have actually covered themselves in glory throughout this series, including allowing the filming. Well done AM.

Nice to see dealer appreciate people enjoying their cars new or repaired.

The answer is $54k

I am impressed with the care that AM takes with their service. Not just any old garage for sure.

When you think about what Matt has done it’s actually incredible, fixed a completely smashed up Aston Martin and the only issues they found were with the tires!

The aston was my favorite project hands down

Every family has that one person who will break the family's financial struggle, I hope you become the one 😊

The car looks great, you did an amazing job! Hats off to AM for not only servicing & inspecting the car but also allowing yourself & Hannah to watch & film the process, although it didn't look like they were very busy! 🤣

Actually really impressed by the work you've put in. You deserve all the praise man.

Great video as always Mat, loved the 5 mins of fame. Hope you have a great road trip, go enjoy the car to its full potential now it's finished and has been given the all clear. All the best for any future builds.

Congratulations and massive shout out to the Aston Martin dealership and its staff who helped you along the way, can’t wait for the road trip video soon.

I binged this series on a sick day and loved it. Gotta love Mat’s sense of when he can shortcut or fix a part and when he needs a genuine OEM replacement. That and his sheer determination to keep bangin’ on!

Out of all the brands of car you’ve worked on, Aston Martin are the one I’d have least expected to be so forthcoming with you. It’s a stroke of genius really, it just goes to show the reach you have and the power behind your brand. Keep up the good work pal……I still think your pissing in the wind with that 635 though 🤣

Dude is honestly pretty incredible. His story is remarkable. So many of my students (teenagers) could get something from watching his energy and passion. Do what you love.

I think out of all the cars you've rebuilt, the Aston would be the one I'd take home. It's stunning and I'm not usually a fan of satin finishes but it just works on this car. Good job!

Very cool, and well done, Aston for not being anti-repair damaged and seeing the marketing potential of looking after Mat. Well done again Mat fantastic work, you clever clever man

Fantastic to get approval from Aston Martin for all your hard work Matt! Hard work really does beat talent! Keep up the great content, looking forward to the road trip.

The Aston has come this far, Well done Mat! This build has truly made a great series on the channel.

Dude this was a SICK video!

Mat what an amazing build and the end result is stunning, it really is. And to get the Aston Martin seal of approval means you're definitely a professional car restorer now. A well deserved win again matey and what a journey. Will never forget that dash removal...

You have a lot of patience and you aren't afraid of hard work , great video as always big up to Aston Martin

Best car channel I've found by far. Amazing build and to have Aston Martin onside also 👌🏾

Your tenacity, persistence, and hard work are incredible. You deserve to enjoy your Aston every second, cheers.

I’m just blown away by the build and how it went. The icing on the cake with it all is the seal of approval from Aston Martin Nottingham have been. It’s just the recognition of all the hard work..! 👍🏻

I’ve enjoyed watching this car being rebuilt the most (so far!) of all your cars

I am amazed by how you keep focused on the work. I would give up the moment it gets difficult, painful and frustrating. It is though inspiring to make me get off my arse. May be not with this but my own things. Brilliant stuff.

Great guy charismatic yet not egocentric, a brilliant mechanic applying his talent with huge passion and commitment . Im not even a huge car enthusiast but i find his channel an intriguing watch

Genuinely blown away. Proud. Motivated. Simply the best episode I've watched motoring wise on You Tube!! Every episode gets better and better. Love it Mat!!!

The Aston in the wrap looks absolutely amazing and the build was something special. With respect it will take a lot to top it, I’m pretty certain though that Mat will! ✌️

Aston Martin a great British Company, it must give owners great confidence in their service organisation after watching this video. Matt did a fantastic job on the rebuild.

Wow what an awesome feeling walking outta there with everything all serviced and buttoned up!

What a massive accomplishment and a great response from your dealer to get involved.

Absolutely brilliant mate, can’t get much approval when an Aston Martin technician tells you that you done great job ,, take a bow Matt

Matt absolute total respect for you, I’ve been messing with cars most of my adult life, I’m a self taught mechanic too and there’s still no way I’d be brave or mad enough to rebuild a car in that condition,but you pulled it off & what a car !!!, I think your a really likeable bloke with excellent presenting skills, passionate about what you do & clearly a great mechanic and a partner who supports you too.. oh and an adorable dog !!. I’m a fan & will be following your future projects, best of luck to you 👍

Massive Congratulations for the rebuild! The car looks incredibly good, I wish you a lot of fun with it.

Amazing work you’ve done there Mat, you should be very proud of yourself.

Fantastic work, Mat! I knew the Vantage would turn out to be a gem. I was smiling during the entire video. Aston Martin also deserves recognition for being such a great partner in supporting your rebuild and getting the Vantage properly tuned up. Congratulations! Safe travels during your road trip.

I love seeing things being rebuilt and restored, I think I share your passion for fixing something broken. It’s refreshing to see that over all the videos out there of people just destroying stuff.

Matt I have been a mechanic for 30 plus years mate you have my approval as a mechanic love the way you video it and do the cars the way you like to do them love it and the people/company's that help you gets a free plug love it to Aston Martin well done that's how dealerships should be . matt and if you are ever in Leeds and need help the keys to my tool boxs are yours just make sure that you put everything back lol well done mate top job

Looks outstanding and credit given to you for the hard work you did getting it to that standard .

Congratulations to you guys. Respect to Aston Martin.

The best part is at the end of the video when you walk out of Aston Martin. You can fully sense the feeling of accomplishment and pride you're feeling at this exact moment! You're a legend

Mat you are officially a mechanic 100% 👍🏻 Rebuilding your Vantage to Aston Martin spec. Wow just wow!

Great result Mat. Shows how much your hard work has paid off 👍🏻

£562.80 for an alignment and regas, that’s hefty! What a build though, car is looking great 👏🏻

Gotta admire Matt's drive and can do attitude no matter what the problem may be. Definitely someone to look up to!

Mat this is a fantastic advert for Aston Martin and they new it. This is a testament to how far you have come. What a great car as well! 👏👏

£562 for a re gas and a wheel alignment !! Jeez . At least Dick Turpin wore a mask !! 😂 Well done Mat in 3 years look where you are . Keep it going fella .

Glad it passed, you've done an amazing job on the car as usual. 👍🏽

I've been following this channel since the BMW 1 and Audi TT mods and look how amazingly far this channel haar grown. This type of videos where the supercars get rebuild and are actually checked by the dealer are very satisfying to watch. Amazing work Matt, I'm curious where you will get this channel in a few years.

Good for you Matt. You saved this AM to live another life. AM did the right thing by inspecting it thoroughly and giving credit where it’s due. Well done.

Mat, fair play to ya , absolutely amazing, I thought when you got the lambo you could get any better but the Aston and the work you’ve done on it … just class man … continued success

I really enjoy your videos and journey… U are always super positive even when things go wrong. U are an inspiration to anyone who wants to follow their passion and find away to monetize it and get out of their boring mundane existence in a job they don’t like!! Well done Matt and all of your supporting crew 👊🏽💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Wow, absolutely smashing it. Love watching you guys!!!!!

When he said there's no fault codes, that's when I realized You did immaculate job! Well done!

Matt absolutely love your “No Fear” and “Can do” attitude. You’re a great inspiration to us DIY at home mechanics and car enthusiasts. Keep up the great content. We truly appreciate all that you do. 👊🏽

Hats off to you Mat, hard work definitely does best talent! I am loving these new builds!

Great video. You've smashed it again !!! And hats off to Aston Martin.... they have covered themselves in glory here with their service to their customers and vehicles.

Matt - you can certainly call yourself a mechanic - I also love the support the main dealer provided you - thats the way it should be - hats off to you and those at Aston Martin Nottingham who understand customer relationships. So many others could learn a heap from this vid alone. Keep the great content flowing.

Can you call yourself a mechanic? 1000% Yessssss! Loved every second of this, huge congratulations!

Favourite build by miles Matt!! Smashed it and got everything perfect from the colour to the subtle mods!!

Should be proud of that one. Aston Martin hats off to yous some places wouldn’t even let you record while being in the work shop but helped you out along the way aswell

Loving the voice over work, no longer yelling at us! So much more enjoyable to watch. Great work on the AM Vantage 🔥

Such a sick build can’t wait for it to get some more power

I am rarely impressed with much, but you my friend were born for this. Not everyone is a true entertainer, but you have it, every time you say something "is mental" with your strong U.K accent you bring a smile to my face. The fact that you have a wide grin threw all of the video's hardships is amazing. Keep making these for RU-vid they are awesome!

A huge congratulations Mat. Absolutely fantastic job on the car. It looks stunning and I am not even a fan of wraps! I can’t decide whether this rebuild or the Range Rover is better but honestly I thoroughly enjoy it when your videos drop! Keep up the good work and yes I agree HWBT!

American view were here. I stumbled across this channel and I’m really enjoying your videos. It is a gift to be able to work on and rebuild almost any kind of car. I am the least capable of doing what you’re doing so it’s fun to watch other people with the touch!

tell you what bud, if I'm having a bad day all I need to do is watch one of your vids - your such a positive! Keep it up.

Loved the build and the service provided by Aston Martin is Amazing 🤩 ❤

At first, my eyes spontaneously bled when i saw the yelllow and purple springs ons the Astin. Luckely you don't see them after installing. The car looks really great!

Hats off to both You and Aston Martin! Now thats customer service.

Amaizing job Mat! You not just a mechanic, you are truly talented one! I enjoy your achievements, especially when things doesn’t seem good at all, you manage to make it work and never lose hope! Looking forward to see more great projects from you! Keep it going!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Really enjoyed the work you put in on this the results speak for them selves 👍🏻

right choice = great when things work for you - so happy for you and keep them coming ! thanks .

Seriously. What a build. You have absolutely smashed it! Well in. Credit to Aston Martin too, you know they secretly love it. Keep up the good work, you deserve all the success

Just goes to show you don't need to be a qualified mechanic to get it right. Well done Matt on doing such an amazing job getting your Aston back on the road in such good shape 👏

Loved this build👍🏻👍🏻

Great Job the feeling when it’s done ❤️ just finished a flooded E class.

That is my dream car! Really enjoyed watching the rebuild and great to see Aston Martin being so helpful💪🏼

Car looks absolutely amazing 👏

He paid 54k save your time

A little story ..... I took my boy to an Aston Martin Dealership ( wont mention it in case they get in bother ) when he was about 8 / 9 years old . He loved Astons (via James Bond !) so , going to see them "close up " was a HUGE part of his birthday treat . My plan was just to walk around showing him close-ups of the cars outside "in the flesh" . Being Britain , five minutes before we arrived , it began to pour down with rain . 😞 .Bless him , that didn't dampen his enthusiasm . We arrived in summer clothing ( mid may ) and began to walk around in the rain . After a while , a salesman came out , with an Aston umbrella up and asked if I needed any help . He seemed genuinely interested in us . I explained it was just a birthday treat ( for my son ) and that I simply couldn't afford to buy . He asked us into the Showroom and very kindly brought us some hot drinks and biscuits . My son's eyes were just hanging out on stalks ( as were his Dad's ) , he just didn't know where to look first . After a while , the salesman came back having got approval from the Dealer Principal and began giving us a tour around A L L 😲 the cars in the showroom , letting Junior sit inside, as well . Honestly , this guy's kindness brought tears to my eyes for the pleasure he was giving my boy . When we came to leave, my son and I both expressed our gratitude , but the chap then iced the cake by giving my son an Aston baseball cap , DVD , and lots of photos / brochures of the cars . Now , that guy didn't earn a cent in commission from us , but in the bigger picture of things , that was probably one of the most important bits of salesmanship he will ever provide in his life..... Sammy is 27 now . He's currently deployed , serving King & Country . We still reminisce fondly of that Birthday . And he STILL keeps all the mementoes safely ! The friendliness of that Saleman will stay with me forever . And it needs to be said that his attitude could go a long , long way if adopted by "lesser" marque's salespeople . That last bit sounded awful , but I'm sure you know what I mean . Thank you for taking the time to read my sermon . And Mat , if you ever read this , please give your lovely four legged friend a big sloppy kiss from me ? ! Love your channel . You seem like a decent human being . A true collectors item .

Another bang on video man that spring instalation was 💯 % sweet and made the ride look very nice.

The Porsche is gonna be epic but the bmw is the one I can’t wait to see how turns out but in Matt we have faith he get it solid again

Relatively new to your channel buddy! Been slowly working through watching all of your builds and keeping up with the new ones. Really inspiring from someone from the East mids! Love the work and the energy keep it up buddy!

Best produced video you have done.Filmed beautifully thanks.

Well done Aston Martin. Well done on the rebuild. Nice to see positive people working hard! Class!

Amazing! Congrats Matt, never in doubt. I'd buy a crash damaged car from you and pay full price!

Absolutely awesome effort - love watching the journey on this and the other cars. Keep entertaining us!!!

Top work. Must feel great getting the approval from main dealer for an Aston. The car does look fantastic in that colour.

I see this channel just scrolling through other car videos. Just watch the Aston build start to finish and now hooked. Will watch all the other videos and may even try my luck at a crash damage. Well done great content 💪🏽💪🏽

Your bumper gap looks better honestly. Anything we can do on our own tends to look better than having someone else do it 👌 That’s if we can do it of course 🤷‍♂️

Love what you do only if I could inspirational

It's not often I'm jealous or envious with people who have enough cash to buy cars like this.....but.....on this occasion I'm very jealous. What a car, what a piece of art. Amazing and well done on the build.

It looked like they where very impressed with what you did with the car and a bit of free publicity always helps!! Well done Dude 💯👌🏾🤟🏾

4:59 those vise grips could have damaged the surface of the rod. I wouldn't be supprised if this damper start to leak soon.
