Modern cars have electronic dashboards with digital odometer displays. The car manufacturers use this type of instrument cluster because they are cheaper to produce than a mechanical dashboard and easier to fit into the car as there is no mechanical speedometer cable. This new technology has its own problems though. Electrical pulses in the cars wiring can cause the dashboard mileage data, which is stored internally on an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), to become corrupted. This corruption could happen for a number of reasons:

• The vehicle battery was discharged and the vehicle had been jump started
• The dashboard may develop an electrical fault
• The dashboard may be damaged in a collision or through vandalism.

In these examples, the corruption of the information held in the EEPROM may mean that the mileage displayed on the speedo is now incorrect and requires a correction. Dashboard correction may also be necessary where a replacement cluster has been purchased, either new or second hand. If it's a new one it will have zero miles on it. If it's a second hand one the mileage displayed is also likely to be different to the original thus requiring correction.

 

We offer a service which cannot be matched by anyone else because we have invested in the latest German hand held equipment specifically designed for mileage correction services. Some of our competitors use PC based software which wipes all the information off the memory chip including additional details, such as chassis numbers and VIN numbers. Our method leaves that information intact. Additionally, all of our work is guaranteed. Most cars are easily calibrated without the need to remove the clock cluster. Below are just some of the areas we cover:
