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....

**Captkaos** · 02-14-2005, 01:04 PM

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 am in Ks!! I hope this helps!! Thanks for all the help!!

75stepside · 02-14-2005, 11:20 PM

i know that year one has a tach service... if my memory serves me right, its $175 or $250 for them to do it... flat fee!

jeffs98 · 02-15-2005, 12:04 AM

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

**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
