Faulty Dashboard? Instrument Cluster Repair in Farnham
A faulty cluster doesn’t have to mean a four-figure dealer bill. We diagnose and repair speedos and instrument panels for Farnham drivers, keeping your original unit, coding and true mileage intact.
Repairing clusters properly β not just replacing them
From our point of view Farnham is home turf: a historic market town we criss-cross constantly between jobs in Guildford and Godalming. That familiarity means accurate arrival times and no wasted mornings waiting in.
Warning lights that stay on, gauges that read wrong, displays you can’t read at night β cluster faults make a car miserable to drive and can mask real problems elsewhere. Before you pay dealer money for a replacement, have the original repaired.
Our technicians work at board level: replacing worn stepper motors, re-flowing dry solder joints, fitting new backlight LEDs and repairing the ribbon connections that cause missing pixels. It’s precision work, and it’s what we do all day.
We serve every part of Farnham anywhere from the centre to the GU9 outskirts. Many faults are diagnosed and fixed the same day; bench repairs are collected and returned with the cluster refitted and everything tested.
While we’re with you, we can often handle more than one job in a single visit β we also offer mileage correction, immobiliser & module repair and car diagnostics in Farnham.

Instrument Cluster Repair in Farnham β your questions answered
How long does a cluster repair take?
Simple faults are often fixed the same day at your address. Bench repairs β where we remove the cluster and work on it properly β are typically turned around within a few days, with removal and refitting included.
Can you fix dead pixels on my display?
Yes. Missing pixels are usually a failing ribbon cable connection rather than a dead screen, and we repair or replace the ribbon and screen components as needed.
Will repairing my cluster affect the mileage?
No β repairing your original cluster preserves the true stored mileage. That’s one of the big advantages over fitting a second-hand unit, which arrives showing the donor car’s figure and needs professional recalibration.
Do you offer a warranty on repairs?
Yes, cluster repairs are guaranteed β ask for the current warranty terms when you book. If a repaired component ever fails again within the warranty period, we put it right.
Where do you carry out the work in Farnham?
Wherever your car is β your driveway, your street or your workplace car park anywhere in Farnham. All we need is safe access to the vehicle.
Don’t pay dealer prices for a new cluster
Call or WhatsApp with your registration and a description of the fault. We’ll quote a fixed price and get you booked in β usually within days, anywhere in Farnham.
