3 years ago, North Hollywood Speedo quoted me $130 to $160 for a rebuild on a speedo/odo. I can't recall what the final amount was, but it wasn't considerably more or less, as that would have stuck in my memory.

It was nice to have an accurate speedo and odo.

Any idea what the other sources quote for their services?

Depending upon the year of your car's speedo and also what type of differential you're running. You can get a brand new late style (cross-hair) speedo that's calibrated (W=1.393) for a 3.91 differential new from Walloth & Nesch for around $100 the last time I checked. Works great if you don't care about keeping track of the original mileage that's on your old speedo and you're running a 3.91 diff. That's what I ended up doing on my '74 tii after I got tired of getting the original speedo fixed and recalibrated.

Another speedo repair place in the Bay Area is Palo Alto Speedometer:

I don't know what the going rate is for getting a speedo rebuilt these days, but it was more than $100 when I last had one rebuilt over 5 years ago...
