I believe that after the car was brought out of the shop and parked that a worker had neglected to tell anyone of the difference in the odometer and didn't mention it to anyone until this was noticed while driving away. Since the shop was put in charge of this task and was paid for the job. It should ultimately be the shops responsibility to figure out what took place while it was in there procession.

Perhaps the battery was so old in fact that the battery it's self was too low to supply enough energy to the rest of the car to properly keep all of the systems in check. Which would explain why the cars odometer was reading what it was after the new battery was put in the old ones place!? | |

I believe since the odometer is digital... that perhaps when the car battery was changed a malfunction occurred causing the reader to be wrong and was altered by mistake . This could lead to a number of possibilities as to what had taken place. | |
