Issues with my Gaffrig gauge.

[VetteLT193]

Bottom line is I bought new Gaffrig gauges a while back and finally installed them in my boat. 1 gauge out of 10 is screwed up. I figured, no big deal, it happens to every product at some point, I got a dud... Gaffrig will fix it.

sent the picture to Gaffrig, they were responsive until they got the picture, now they are off the face of the earth. This has been in the boat for 3 weeks on the trailer. not even in the water.

For one 40 dollar gauge they lost all my business.

make sure you click to zoom in on the pic, it actually looks better after the upload re-sized it. Oddly enough you can't read the gauge in real life unless you already know the what the numbers are.

Damn. What is that, Japanese? You'd think they would just send you another. where did you buy them from?

 

[Ratickle]

Did you call them?

Is it moisture, or is it bad printing on the face?

Did you buy these from their distributor or dealer? I would go there.

So I guess the needle is printed as well...:ack2::sifone:

I had a mechanical speedo brake, the niddle tip broke off. Gaffrieg gave me a hard time about warranteing the speedo, but eventually with some discussions we came to terms.
Don't give up on them just yet. Talk to the right guys.

They were good to me. I had my GPS speedo take a crap. I took the speedo to them. We went for a ride in their test car. Speedo had failed. They replaced the guts $0. Been fine so far. Call them and talk tp them don't b!tch 1st and ask later. Hell send me the gauge and I stop by with it.

Gaffrigs are the ones that are always faded and broken.

Like this?

Part of the problem is I bought them a while ago from CP, and now they have dropped the Gaffrig line.

The problem is water inside of it. It's past what I would call moisture. :boxing_smiley:

The picture above from BBB are actually Livorsi gauges... You can tell the difference because the Gaffrig by Livorsi's only have one horizontal line where the Gaffrig by Gaffrig has 3 horizontal lines in the logo... the ones that hit the "G" in the name.

Based on their response so far, they won't do anything. I just want to warn others that it is not worth the time or effort to buy their products.

I'll go with Autometer, Livorsi, or even Teleflex next time. I wish VDO was still in the game making something that looked good, because the original 20 year old VDO's were fine.

You really shouldn't have to beg someone to make it right.

I feel the same way... I really expected that would have just asked me to send it back so they could fix or replace it. It's 1 frikken gauge.

 

[MacGyver]

Buy a new gauge and three weeks later return the bad one

why dont you call them and ask for bob... if you like ill call them and ill ask for bob...

 

[Chris]

From what I'm being told, Gaffrig management has been made aware and someone will be coming here shortly to address the situation. Pending that, let's give the Gaffrig guys some breathing room to respond.

Thanks.

If you think I have jumped the gun I'll delete the thread.

I'm super flexible, everyone gets busy, and I am super understanding... what got me is this is the last contact I got, which was from last Friday.

HI BOB,

I RECEIVED YOUR PICTURE AND I WILL HAVE SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR YOU ON MONDAY.

THANKS,
...name removed...

I didn't hear back at all, which is really not a big deal compared to the email... What kind of suggestions am I going to get? Just sounds to me like they aren't going to do anything. That's what got me going.

Try Livorsi they make nice stuff and have nothing to do with the (New Gaffrig named junk)
