Dashboard & Cluster Repair Birmingham

No. We will not alter mileage to misrepresent a vehicle — doing so is a criminal offence. We only restore the mileage to a true, documented figure when a cluster is repaired or replaced, and only with evidence such as MOT history or service records.

In many cases, yes. Dead backlights, flickering displays and stuck needles are usually failed components inside the cluster — dry solder joints or worn stepper motors — which we repair rather than replacing the whole unit. We test the cluster on the bench and in the car before returning it.

Something independent that proves the true figure: MOT history, service records, or invoices showing the mileage at a known date. We compare these against the cluster reading and restore the verified figure. If the paperwork doesn’t add up, we won’t do the job.

Not necessarily. The speedometer is usually driven by a wheel speed sensor, so a dead speedo with a live rev counter often means a sensor or wiring fault, not the dashboard. We diagnose first and only open the cluster if the fault is actually in it.

It depends on the light. A warning light means a system has logged a fault, so we scan the car first to find the cause — an airbag or ABS light, for example, is a safety system issue, not a dashboard fault. We fix the underlying problem rather than just clearing the light.

For diagnosis, yes — we come to your car anywhere in Birmingham and the West Midlands. Some cluster repairs are done on the spot; others need bench work, in which case we remove the cluster, repair it, and return to refit and test it. You get a fixed quote before we travel.
