Where to send speedometer and odometer for repair

[Planter91C2]

Hello,

Search results were pretty old.

Anyone have a good new recommendation? Anyone in northeast or is all CA?

Thank you

Hartmut @ Palo Alto Speedometer. 'Nuff said. Fast turnaround, usually a week or so. Great service! As new upon receipt, wide variety of services.

Used both over the years. Excellent people to deal with.

Nichols Speedometer re calibrated my speeedometer two years ago. They're in Greensboro NC. Very friendly and fast turnaround. Give them a call.

Another vote for Hartmut at Palo Alto Speedometer in Palo Alto, CA. Hartmut did all my gauges and they are like jewelry.

+++ Nichols Speedo in Greensboro NC. VDO auth shop. Quick and friendly. Refurbed 2 complete sets of instruments for me. Very happy with the results.

John Bell did a splendid job on my set. I had him add his volt meter to my Oil/Fuel Gage.



I also had John silkscreen the oil pressure and the oil temperature faces with numeric values

Hi,

I’m being told that it cannot be fixed, burn on circuit board. Does this sound reasonable or should I try the shops in CA

Tried one of the recommended on the east coast

Any help or advice appreciated

Thank you

I just sent a 993 speedometer to Palo Alto. The replaced a capacitors and resistors, the gears, and sent it back as good as new. I would highly recommend them.

I sent a tach to Nichols Speedometer , they could not fix it.

I sent it to Jbell, and it was fixed 3 days latter

Great News

Kevin at Nichols worked on it again today and got it fixed, should be back to me in a few days.

Just for current reference on costs, I was quoted:

Palo Alto $350 - $395

North Hollywood $389 +

Nichols $249

And being closer shipping was $20

If I don’t reply back, it works and am very happy with the quick service.

Thank you everyone for your input

My experience as well - had them install a voltmeter in my tach, they did a superior job.

John Bell did mine. 1 day turnaround, reasonable, and excellent communication. Can't recommend him enough.
