I use Palo Alto Speedometer. Hartmut Mees is great to work with. Palo Alto Speedometer: Repair, Restoration, and Sales of Automobile Gauges

If you want to try a place in Orange County there is Gail's Speedometer in Costa Mesa on 16th st. They work on Porsche up to about 98 when they turn digital.

+1 on NOHO Speedometer. Sent my speedo in to be recalibrated and checked as you could here something in there....maybe a bit of a gear or something. Fixed it and shipped it back within a day and it works/looks perfect

I sent my '89 speedo to North Hollywood. earlier this year. Took about a week and about over $100. No drama...it is what they do.

BTW, NH and PA are owned by the same people. When mine took a dump, I used these guys. Home

Fixed while I waited as I was on trip and my gas gauge never works. Less than 80 bucks.

IDGAF, it was posted here on the board.....if it's on the 'net, it's true.

They are both slow, and overpriced.....they DO good work. I have used maybe 6-7 shops over the years. I liked that I could get a repair while on the road. I doubt they would have done the same even though I have been a past customer.
