I have bought a second hand TRD 320km/h Dash for my car from overseas. I wanted to get my odometer reset in the aftermarket dash from 12,000km in the TRD dash to around 169,000km to match my car's actual distance traveled. I have called Company X and asked them how much would it cost, they said around $80 or so. So I have took it to Company X and I have asked them to also check the dash to make sure everything is working as it should before they put it in my car. One or Two days later they said it's ready, so I take my car there to get it put in. They charge me around $310, a bit steep, but I thought maybe they spent a lot of time on it inspecting/calibrating, so I thought that's fine.
Next morning when I start the car the LED in one corner of the dash flickers until it gets warmed up. So I rang Company X and said why did I spend this $310 and you guys didn't check it properly, I have told them if they could fix or swap my normal dash lights in. The guy spoke to his boss and said it's not something caused by our work, so we won't fix it and that I would have to pay another $180 or something to get it looked at again.
Next day or so I get a call from one of the employee's of Company X and he said he can do it at home for a cash job for around $110. So I said let's put take out the LED lights and put my factory dash lights.
Issue 1: After he replaced the lights I would intermittently get my speedo needle sticking when I start the car. After a week or so I took it back to him and he put drilled two holes, one for the speedo and one for the rev counter to put in a manual stopper so it wouldn't stick.
He claims that needles have like liquid or something and that it can leak and cause the "stickyness"
Issue 2: After filling up my car, I pressed to reset the trip meter. After doing this. Now my odometer doesnt work and neither does the trip meter.
Can anyone advise me on what should I do?
I am thinking about taking it to another company to get it looked at.
