Speedo repair recommendation in the St Pete FL area?

I have a co-worker who lives in St Pete. She's got a 1995 with an odometer that just quit (classic plastic gear failure?). Any local repair sources? She's also got a torn CV joint boot and had an estimate for a half axle replacement. Any shop recommendations that will do just a boot replacement?

Thanks!

no St Pete recommendation, but don't be afraid to send the speedo to North Hollywood. When I had mine done, it was still cheaper than the shop our local dealer uses, and it wasn't more than 10 days...shipping time included.

DNA did my 85' speedo. Quick, kept me informed of status, resonable price! Worm gear replaced
