Speedo repair, who is best? | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

I'm going to send my speedo and combi gauges in for repair and re labeling to German specs. I'm looking at Palo Alto Speedo repair and also North Hollywood. Are they both the same in quality and price? Or is one better than the other? Are there any others you guys have used you are happy with? Thanks

I've used both on many occasions and they are pretty much the same. Lately, I've been using Palo Alto, because they were just slightly less expensive.

I have had decent luck with Orange Empire Speedometer in Corona, CA. Easiest to reach by e-mail. Does good work and is less expensive than other guys I've used before

I have had excellent service from North Hollywood Speedo. I don't mind a high quality price if I get high quality repairs and service. That's what NHS provided to me. They recalibrated the speedo that was way off, installed new led lights for all gauges (so that I can actually read them at night) and replace mismatched bezels. All stuff the builder should have done but didn't. NHS came in on time and on quoted price. Can't go wrong with that.

I had NHS recalibrate my speedo and add LEDs to my gauges too. As others have mentioned, not the cheapest, but they do quality work.

Thanks a lot guys, that's what I needed to know!

OUCH! I was thinking of having them redo a complete set of original gauges that I have here. I can't imagine what that'd cost me.

Yowza,
