Recommendations for Gauge Repairs?

I live in the DFW area of Texas but I can't find anyone to provide a gauge restoration service in my state! Can anyone vouch for a good resto company? I saw D&M Restoration in SC on the Forum, but they have a F BBB Rating.

I don't want a full restoration, I just want the guts to be gone over and repaired if needed, so I know they work.

It's for my 68 Cutlass w rally gauges. The Temp gauge doesn't work, and a pin on the back broke off. The Speedo and the Tac act batty, so I figured I should send them in too.


Thanks for your help!

You can try Redline, The Clock Works, Instrument Specialties, H & H Tachman, and Instrument Services, Inc. They all have websites. Good Luck.

X2 on Redline Gauges. They did my gauges on my 68 Rally Pack as well. I am very pleased with their work. John and his wife Tammy are very good to do business with.

There are 2 Redline repair shops. I used the one in Humboldt, Tennessee to do the gauges in my 65 Vette about 12 years ago. John was great to deal with, all the gauges still work and look great.
I dont know anything about the one in Ca.
I would definately use John in Tn. again

D&M did the restoration on the gauges and tach/clock for my '68 and my '69. They were prompt, their prices were reasonable and their work was good. I didn't have a problem with them at all.

Thanks for the input!

I ended up going with Williamson's in Chester AK. They have Lifetime transferable warranty, and a 30 day turnaround and fair prices, so I was sold on that.
