Read our answers to questions about speedometer repair costs, symptoms and more.
What does a speedometer do?
Your speedometer monitors the speed of the car. In the past this would be done through a cable, but nowadays the speedometer is mainly an electric part that relies on information from sensors to calculate the speed.
What does a speedometer replacement involve?
A mechanic will come to replace the speedometer, and assess the situation on the vehicle to see if there are any other problems. The mechanic will then replace the speedometer and advise if there are further parts to replace. They will then test the system and adjust as neccessary.
