Gauge restoration? Options

[rcarson25]

So, I am getting down to some details on my 914 build and I am looking at gauge restoration. I called(straight to voicemail) and emailed North Hollywood but have not heard back yet. I am trying to get an idea of the cost of gauge restoration. No major issues with my gauges that I am aware of but would like them to look fresh as the whole rest of the car will be as well. I know this can vary a lot based on the condition issues etc. would anyone mind sharing their cost of gauge recommendation or even a ballpark number. Any recommendations other than Palo Alto and North Hollywood for this service?

Thinking it is the same outfit as the Samba. Both in VA.

Good catch. I just got off the phone with Cory, I may go this route. He seems knowledgeable and a nice guy. Went through the progression of VW, 914, 911 like I am sure many here have in their car journey.

Word of caution that character is sketchy at best.
My dealings with him ultimately turned out, but it took an unreasonable amount of time & berating to get him to return my clock. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Be careful, I had a similar experience. At one point I thought I’d never get my stuff back. He was Unreachable for several weeks and had some tall tales trying to explain, car accidents, hospital, broken phone.......

Thank you guys. Always appreciate a word of caution where appropriate.

I have a in-op 914/6 tach that will need work so it'll go to one of the known shops. And really appreciate @FlacaProductions sharing his invoice to help set expectations.
