When I had the speedometer fixed on my 95 Honda Accord, the odometer went back to zero and the mechanic said that he couldn’t reset it. Now that I am trying to sell the car, I want the odometer to show the car’s actual mileage, about 125,000 rather than 4,000 which look suspicious. Does anyone know of a car repair place specailizing in calibrating odometers?  
  
 thank you in advance for your help.

Check with your state’s motor vehicle dept. Typically they have a form that you sign to indicate the true mileage.
