somewhere located in the south east would be great, i know of a place thats just of springvale rd in mulgrave but ive had friends go there and they said it was a bit pricey... around $90 - $100.

there is a place in ringwood that does it. near the hungry jacks i THINK b4 the new freeway.

and no, they wont wind back kms LOL....

u need to pull it out of the car, bring it to them and tell them the measurements of your wheels. i think they can make 40's on a car roll like stock wheels lol

My sister's speedo is way out (about 25%..) and she wants it recalibrated. I believe this is mechanical and no software involved? She doesn't want to use a GPS everywhere she goes as a speedo, and she definitely wants to correct this.

Car is a 2003 VW Golf.

Where on the westside can I get this done???

5km off is nothing. get this... i was driving down the freeway back from a mates place, i was sitting on a casual 100km, had to pass another car so i sped up a bit and then i noticed it, i was going faster but my speedo was going down :huh:

whether thats meant to happen or not is beyond me, but im starting to think its more then a recalibration job

i just changed over my cluster because my trip meter on my old 1 stopped clicking over, now i may have bad solder joints... maybe its time to sell the whole car :lol: maybe i can just get it changed over from where i bought it
