Alright guys. About 8 years ago I sent my speedo to a fella in so cal I believe. He refurbed my speedo for 2 or 300.


Anyone know of good speedo refurb guys in so cal. Maybe if a few names are thrown out ill remember who it was. Gotta another speedo to get done.


Cheers

"Corona Ryan" of Orange Empire Speedometer? He's done two original "trip reset" odometer speedometers for me. Great service.

I have to agree with BulliBill,Corona Ryan at OES is your man,he's passionate about what he does and takes his work to the next level...I too have a trip speedo that he performed his magic on.

KGPR in Ventura rebuilt my '59, 2 years ago. Very nice work, it's been working fine for 7K+ miles.
They also gave me core credit for 3 speedos I sent to them.

So I took the speedometer out hoping to send it off to to be refurbished. Not having any luck contacting Corona Ryan, I did a local search and found a place called Foreign Speedo located in North Park. I paid them a visit on Friday and ended up leaving it with them. They quoted me $120 plus parts. I got the call today that it was ready, wow it's only been a couple days. I didn't want it to be repainted inside if it didn't need it, just cleaned up and in working order. They did exactly what I asked for and it came out perfect!

I highly recommend them!!

Agreed. OES is expensive and not great on the communication. I would go with the SpeedoKing. Very responsive and good pricing.
