Factory-Certified Speedometer Repair Service in Thornton at Mike Shaw Subaru

The speedometer is something that most drivers take for granted. We pass a speed limit sign, glance down, and continue about our drive. But what if you look down and your speedometer has stopped working? This is a problem, and the officer waiting around the next corner isn't likely to be sympathetic.

Fortunately, our authorized Subaru service center is staffed with some of the best certified technicians in the business. They have the experience and skill to handle any speedometer repair needs. Below, we discuss a few more details about the all-important speedometer. That way, you can have a better idea what to expect when you stop by for service.

Why Did Your Speedometer Stop Working?

There are a variety of things that could cause your speedometer to stop working. In our experience, this problem is typically caused by a bad sensor on the transmission. This is located under the vehicle and may be exposed to ice, mud, or other road debris. It won't take our technicians long to replace this transmission speed sensor.

On older vehicles, the speedometer was operated by a cable that spins speedometer gears behind the gauge. Time, normal driving, and the elements are a few of the things that can eventually take a toll on this speedometer cable. The breaking or stretching of this cable can result in a broken speedometer or the speedometer gears may wear out and cause the needle to bounce around.
