Low Profile tires and cost of recalibrating gauges???

I put on some lower profile tires (205/16/40) and now, of course, my speedo is off by about 7%. I've also come to the genius realization that this will also make me pile on odometer miles like crazy, making my car seem to have higher mileage than it really does. I've heard that you can have the speedo/odo recalibrated to be accurate with youyr new tire size but how much does something like this cost? What kind of shop would do something like this? It's not so much the speedo that bothers me--it's the innacurate odo readings that will ultimately make my car worth less (even though it will really have less miles than displayed--but try explaining that to a potential buyer).
Thanks for any ideas....
