If there is one thing in every car the driver can’t live without, it’s a good set of gauges. If you were thinking cup holder, air conditioning, or leather interior, you might not really be a car guy. Okay, I didn’t really mean that, or did I? Unlike a missing cup holder, if you don’t have gauges, bad things can happen and you won’t know about it until it’s too late. Unfortunately, many of the cars we enjoy today, were built 40—or more years ago. How long do you think that the factory gauges in your classic ride will or should last? Let’s just say that your car was built in 1967. That means that it’s 47 years old. Personally, I don’t consider 47 that old-my kids and grand kids do, but me, not so much. Nevertheless, are they as accurate as they were when new? Maybe they don’t function at all? Well, it might be time for a face lift. Remember, I’m talking about the gauges in your car.

Luckily, the folks at Auto Meter are running a promotion through August and September. Every Auto Meter temperature gauge (and gauge kit containing a temperature gauge), is eligible for a rebate, which could save you up to $50.00.  All you have to do is buy your gauges from any authorized Auto Meter distributor or at AutoMeter.com.

So if you have been contemplating a gauge upgrade for your ride, now is the time. Not only will you make sure that you get quality gauges, but you can even save some money in the process. You don’t want to wait too long, as there is an expiration date on this offer. A complete set of rules are detailed on the rebate form.
