1. Repairing the Odometer:
- If only a component or sensor related to the odometer has failed, it might be possible to repair the odometer without a full replacement.
- This would typically involve identifying and fixing the faulty part, calibrating the odometer if needed, and potentially resetting it to the correct mileage.
- Estimated Cost: $150 - $300
2. Odometer Replacement:
- If the odometer is severely damaged or beyond repair, it might be necessary to replace the entire unit.
- The replacement odometer might need to be calibrated and reprogrammed to match the vehicle's mileage accurately.
- Estimated Cost: $400 - $800
These estimates exclude any labor costs, which can vary based on the mechanic's rates. It's recommended to get quotes from reputable repair shops or dealerships for an accurate estimate based on the specific circumstances of your vehicle's odometer issue.
