Walmart altered the mileage on my car

Unhappy-AlfalfaB to Mechanic Advice@gearhead.townEnglish · 10 months ago

I went to walmart to get my tires changed and they altered the miles on my car. When I went in it was at 102,860 and now its at 103,000. This is surely illegal right?? And there is no way they used my car for 140 miles bc it was just in a shop. They also did that when I got my oil changed. They went from 101 to 102 thousand miles

Theres no way that anyone altered the mileage on your car during a tire change or oil change unless they physically drove it that far. It is possible that you or the tech wrote down your mileage incorrectly when the vehicle was checked in, unless you have a photo of the odometer immediately before and after.
