Default Mileage correction companies.

Does anyone know anyone that does mileage correction on cars? I've recently bought a Lexus GS300 SE-L which was originally a Dublin car so reads in KMH. I fitted a set of MPH clocks tonight but of course the mileage is way out. I've been quoted £140 by one company but sounds a little steep to literally plug in and adjust?!

Cheers

going rate nowadays is £100 up and yes your right it is a cheeky asking price, my brother in law did the same thing and was shocked to find his local dealer did it cheaper than the chaps on the web

Not many 2006 GS300's being broken, there was only the one on ebay and they weren't sure of the mileage. The speedo is 121000 in the new clocks and mine was 117000kms (73000 miles)
