Do you know if this company repairs Tachometers or not gchemist? Their website talks about every gauge but the tach?? Thanks gchemist!!

Where are you at? I know of a place near Tacoma WA that does gauges & speedos.

N2TRUX 02-14-2005 12:41 AM

Currently there is no one that I am aware of to fix these things. Forum member Crossy is the resident expert, and he has tried just about every source know to get the tach repaired. If you locate some one that can, please let us know.... :cool:

Ditto on what N2TRUX said.

crossy 02-14-2005 04:34 PM

actually i did talk to a nicer, older than me (sounding) guy on the phone that said he could fix me up but i swear i don't remember which one of the 10 places i talked to that it was. just do a Yahoo or google search for tach or tachometer repairs and type a message and save it to your WORD or WORDPAD that you just copy & paste to each place that says they do them and see what you get back. Be sure to tell them what exactly you have , the problem, and ask THEIR MINIMUM CHARGE, thats usually the deterrent. Most places are $125++.
I have had sucess with this guy(mike) http://www.redlineg.com/ . he happened to have a 77-79 truck one that he got stuck with and I stole???? :-( it for a mere $150 with shipping. DAVE

I called Red Line Gauge Repairs in Humboldt Tennessee today and it costs anywhere from $79 to $155 to repair my GM tachometer!! Needless to say it is in the mail and on the way to them!! It only takes about a 2-3 day turn around!! Thanks Crossy!! I was beginning to get worried that there was not a repair person in the world!! I found that hard to believe!!! Thanks to all and call them at red line gauge repair, they are very friendly!! I will let ya'll know how my gauge turns out!!!

Please do!!! was your tach slow or totally not working??

jeffs98 02-15-2005 09:22 PM

It was not reacting at all to the signal of the coil! I tested all the wires and it is the tach that is bad!!!

75stepside 02-17-2005 10:09 PM

any word yet?

crossy 02-17-2005 10:19 PM

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet! his name was Mike or John one of those real comon names- his name is probably really Harold or Gerard something with the way my memory works anymore !

plumbcut 02-17-2005 10:27 PM

Jeffs98-- im really glad to hear you found someone.. a couple years back I was in the same boat and couldnt really find anyone that would look at it for a reasonable cost. DO keep us posted when you get the thing back.. I have a '78 pickup guage clip w/ a broken tach that I might wanna fix some day....

jeffs98 02-18-2005 07:24 AM

I'll definitely keep ya posted!! I will hopefully know somethin' next week!! I am kind of anxious to get it back anyways!!

jeffs98 02-27-2005 05:51 PM

Well!! I got my tach back fri. and opened the box only to find that it in pieces!! I was told to send it back and they would repair it again at no cost to me and send it back the same day that it is recieved!! I am anxious to get the dash back together!! I'll keep ya posted!! Total Expense on the tach repair was $142.30!! Not too bad??!!

75stepside 03-03-2005 11:47 PM
