Reply to comment by i_need_a_lift in Where can I find one of those "Your speed:" radar signs? by i_need_a_lift

so, it looks like you found the quick and dirty solution, but I wanted to let you know that some auto shops offer speedometer calibration for $75-100. They set your car up on a set of rollers (a dynamometer) and can verify the actual vs. speedometer readout and adjust accordingly.

This helped me in my earlier life with speeding tickets (and it was cheaper back then) but it will undoubtedly help you now if you need a calibration.

Yep! Southern Electronics off Midlo Tnpk near Ch'field Town Center has been the go-to for this in the greater RVA area for decades. But iirc for that price they're just telling you how far off your speedo is, not necessarily fixing anything...

Oh cool, thanks, if I do end up deciding to get it fixed, that's a great lead on the place to have it done. Never heard of them before now.
