Introduction

The objective of the Body Repair Programme (BRP) is to make sure that every AML vehicle repaired
through the AML Dealer Network is completed to AML’s quality standards and specifications. The
programme aims to ensure that the integrity of the repair, customer service and overall customer
experience, meet, or exceed, the standards expected by AML customers.
The Body Repair Operating Standards (BROS), laid out in this document, form the main part of the BRP.
They set the requirements for Aston MartineBay logo Body Repair Centres (AMBRC), and include the contracts made
between the Aston MartineBay logo Dealership (AMD) and AML.
AML reserves the right to update BROS at any time. If BROS is updated, the nominated AMBRC will be
granted a reasonable time to meet the new requirements. The timescales for compliance will be agreed
between AML and the AMBRC.
To become an AMBRC, a BRC must:

Be nominated by an AMD

Complete all mandatory training & equipment standards

Comply with BROS and pass an AMBRC CAT A audit

Have the necessary agreements signed (See Appendix I and II)

AMBRCs must have the capability for Category A repairs. These include damage that requires structural
exterior body panel(s) or internal body structure component replacement with any panel, or combination
of panels, secured permanently with adhesives and or fixings.
AML will provide technical support in particularly complex cases. The AMBRC must provide warranty
repairs and BROS is applicable in all cases, unless otherwise stated. The required equipment for an AMBRC
is listed in Appendix VI – AMBRC Standards Audit Form.

2.0

AMD/AMBRC Working Relationship Service
Requirements

Any BRC that wishes to become an AMBRC will be required to have a working relationship with a
franchised Aston MartineBay logo Dealership (AMD) that will in turn agree to nominate the BRC. AMBRC’s may have
a relationship with more than one AMD, but AMD’s may only have one AMBRC.
The working relationship will be one where the AMBRC will buy AML parts from their nominated AMD
and use the nominated AMD for the mechanical repair work. If an AMBRC is affiliated with more than one
dealer, the AMD that has referred the vehicle is the applicable dealer for that specific repair.
The AMD must use an AMBRC for all body and paint related warranty work. This can be either done with
an internal or external independent BRC. Both internal and external BRCs will be required to meet and
adhere to BROS. The AML, AMD and BRC working relationships are defined by:

Appendix I - Supply of Body Repair Services Documentation contract documentation between the
AMD and the BRC.

Appendix II - Trademark and Compliance Agreement contract documentation between the BRC
and AML directly.

The version in this document is for the UK only.

follows:
1.

Vehicle Condition Check:
A check list including the bodywork, exterior trim, interior trim, glass, wheels etc. for
damage and condition on arrival. This is to ensure that there are no future claims for
damage caused by the AMD/AMBRC. It can also be used to identify potential areas for
refurbishment upsell.

2.

Strip:
Vehicle system functionality is checked, and parts are ordered to meet estimate
requirements.

Panel:
Check list for the varying levels of panel work that may be required and a check to see if
any subsequent damage to the vehicle has occurred.

Paint:
Check list for the various steps required in the paint refinish process with appropriate
quality checks.

Refit & Valet Checks:
Once the vehicle has been rebuilt and cleaned all the systems are to be checked for
functionality.

The VQC can identify any damage found when the vehicle is in the possession of the AMBRC. The VQC
form must also be signed and dated before the vehicle is returned to the customer. The form is auditable
and confirms the AMD’s role as the primary customer contact.
