Your car's speedometer is a vital instrument, providing real-time information about your speed. An accurate speedometer is a must for both safety and legal reasons. At DAS Auto Werks - Dealer Alternative Services, we offer speedometer services to ensure it is functioning properly.

Why does my speedometer work but the odometer or other gauges don't?
When your speedometer works but the odometer or other gauges don't, the problem usually lies in the instrument cluster itself rather than the speed sensor.
Individual parts of the cluster can fail independently, which is why one reading can go out while the rest keep working. Bring your vehicle to DAS Auto Werks - Dealer Alternative Services in Tampa and we'll diagnose whether it's the cluster, the wiring, or a sensor behind the issue.
Will bigger tires or new wheels throw off my speedometer?
Yes, changing to a different tire or wheel size can make your speedometer read too high or too low, since it's calibrated to your original setup.
A larger diameter makes the car travel farther per rotation than the speedometer expects, so the displayed speed no longer matches reality. After a tire or wheel change, the expert
team at DAS Auto Werks - Dealer Alternative Services can recalibrate your speedometer so it shows your true speed again.
Can you fix a speedometer that jumps or reads erratically?
Yes, a speedometer that jumps, spikes, or bounces around can usually be repaired once we find the source.
Erratic readings often come from a failing speed sensor, a loose connection, or a cluster issue sending inconsistent signals. We're open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, so call DAS Auto Werks - Dealer Alternative Services at (813) 940-0064 and we'll track down why your readings are unstable and get them steady and accurate again.
