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. _________________ '64 single cab Big Bend Bus Bash 2015 '16

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.
