Default Current state of dash recover intel?

Need my dash recovered, did a search and most of the info was old and pointed to just dashes for best quality, just wondering if there were any new shops out there that can compare to just dashes but may be cheaper?

Check out Paul's post. I'd trust his word for this.

Had mine done at Dash Specialties in OR. I think it was around $600. Don't know how it compares to others, but I liked it and they were good to work with and returned my phone calls. Here are some before and after picts of my dash.

Wow, I've seen baked and cracked dash pads before but that before picture has to be one of the worst I seen in a long time! The restored dash pad looks great, how was the fit? I had one dash pad done by Just Dashes for a 62 Bonneville Safari and it came out great, I paid allot more than 600 though, I will have to try Dash Specialties for the next one...

I thought the fit was good. The core was not the best, as you stated, and was a little bent. I should have test fitted the core better and made it fit perfect before sending it out, but that was not their fault.

Got a qoute from just dashes for $850 which includes shipping one way.
Seems a little high, i don't know, from where i'm at it'll be about $1000. Does anyone have a good number for dash specialists? The 541-766-0040 number doesn't work.

1 877 dashpad is the company that fast Auto uses. They're out of Tx and would save you shipping.

Read the thread in the link I posted above there's contact info in it.

Dash Specialists

541-776-0040 <--- you were just off one number

Mine was $600 for Aqua dash plus $86 for shipping and handling.

the swedish guy who makes the 65-66 trunk pans has contacts in south carolina (charleston)
there is another company there who imports volvo parts and they can probably ship together from sweden
the trunk pan guy and the dash pad guy is close friends...not many miles bettween them
