My '87 has reset itself for no apparent reason a number of times.
Lastest trick it did last week one day the speedometer and only the speedometer was in metric. Flicked the switch on the dash a few times...no difference. Shut off the key and turn it on again, back to normal.
Since they may have unhooked the battery, or yours may have the occasional glitch like mine does, I'd be careful about accusing people of anything based on what the digi-dash says.

They disconnected the battery so your mileage reset itself. They are better than I am, I keep forgetting every time I touch the wiring.:o

I have never left my Vette at any shop for them to work on without me being there watching. Because they may do what he said: BTPOOI. I live close to the Tire Rack and Mann's Corvette and have known Steve Mann for over 20 years but still, never leave my baby alone with a stranger for routine work.

I used to work in a shop. Remember the old Dodge Daytona Turbo, they run pretty good. I was ensuring the timing was right.
People do race our Vettes, even the stealerships' mechs.
The battery disconnect resets to zero and the engine running at idle also lowers the fuel avg.
Welcome to reality, they will deny all the way

Your antique car only has enough memory for about 4000 miles then it starts over. If I remeber correctly.
