What is mileage correction

Written by

Mileage or hours correction is the term used for recalibrating the recorded miles/km or hours on a piece of equipment of vehicle.  

 

There are many reasons why corrections and recalibrations are made and these include when we are booked by main dealers when the mileage of a vehicle is incorrect.

 

This can happen when components have been exchanged for repair or testing by inexperienced staff who don't realise that most modern vehicles will carry

the highest mileage over to the vehicle from the component.  

 

This can result in all the other computer modules then reatining the higher mileage even when the original module is put back in the vehicle.

 

Main dealers do not have the correct equipment to correct these errors and that is where Dash Doctors ( mileage-correction.ie ) come in.

 

When it comes to mileage km hours correction/calibration the equipment really is the key to success.

Sure you can find correction kit on the likes of ebay for a few hundred euro or even less but when you take into consideration the damage that these cheap devices can do it's onlt then that you realise how bad a decision it is to try to do it yourself.

We have many years experience in delaing with the complex electronics within motor vehicles and plant equipment and this knowledge enables us to safely recalibrate the data within them.  Not knowing what you're doing or using inferior equipment can and often does lead to corrupted memories in modules and the resulting failure of the display.  Sometimes this corruption can even lead to a non starting vehicle as in many vehicles the key data and immobiliser configuration are also stored in the dash cluster module.  This can then leave you with a bill of several hundred euro to get this module repaired and have the vehicle running again.

 

We use state of the art equipment to modify the data in these modules and this equipment costs many thousands not hundreds.  

In fact our equipment is so advanced we are one of the very few services to offer recalibrations on most new merceded vehicles without the need for can blocking devices or filters needing to be installed inside the vehicle.

Yes that's right - we can recalibrate your 2018 model year onwards mercedes benz without needing to fit a can filter or blocker from 150 euro!!!
