Instrument Cluster Gauge Repair and Replacement

As a leading provider of instrument cluster gauge repair in Wichita, Elwoods Submarine Repair takes pride in offering the best service to customers and is dedicated to serving your needs each and every day!


GM Motor Replacement

All GM motors are replaced with new, updated fifth-generation units that will never break. All illumination bulbs are changed, whether they were working or not. Other modifications (solder with lead) prevent the driver's information and other displays from becoming dim or completely dark in the future.


 When GM offers replacement instrument clusters containing their stepper motors (substandard earlier versions) and replacement bulbs (turn signal/hazard and cruise control bulbs not replaced) and NO solder added where it CRACKS for a whopping $400 plus programming and R&R FEES-Another $400, That's $800! that was in 2015, Probably far more now. We are happy to repair the yours for $150 and give you a lifetime warrantee if anything fails! That is how certain our repair is BETTER than new. Our motors do not fail and GM will not ever buy any of them, they are bad for their bottom line. It is common to see clusters on our bench that have 2 or 3 GM rebuild stickers. What a cash cow for them and a shame for you. Let us be the last build your cluster will ever need once and forever! Our cost is $150 plus tax compared to $800 over and over. And we come to your car or truck, remove, repair and clean your speedometer and let you watch what we do if you're curious.


If you buy a used unit and need the mileage to match your original unit we can do that and give you a lifetime guarantee if you have us rebuild it.

All Work Guaranteed for a Lifetime

GM Repairs usually take about an hour, and only GM repairs are $150.00 WITH a lifetime warranty. That means they will outlast your vehicle. Spend your hard-earned cash on quality, and you'll never regret it. There is no value in leaving soon-to-be-dead motors and bulbs in your dash just for the sake of a few dollars. Those left behind will go bad and disappoint.


Removing the needles is very stressful on the delicate first-generation motors. GM still uses these defective motors in their rebuilt units, which is what you get in a GM rebuild. They also leave the cracked solder. Cory uses fifth-generation motors that are guaranteed forever, and he repairs all of those cracked joints with a premium solder and flux that will outlive your vehicle. Be aware that we have now found second-generation stepper motors in the GM rebuilt clusters sold at the parts counter. These motors are also defective, but it's progress in the right direction. Good job General!
