To be upset that there are miles on my car after a service

[Octavon]

The garage took my car for a service and left me a courtesy car. They were supposed to bring my car back the same day but it needed new tyres and they couldn’t get them till the next day.

When my car came back it had an additional 60 miles on the clock and approx 60 miles of petrol used. The garage is 10 miles away. Also the dash cam had been unplugged, presumably so it couldn’t record where the car has been.

The garage is ignoring my questions about where my car has been and why the dash cam has been unplugged. I’m finding it very distressing thinking some stranger has taken my car on a joy ride. Also I can’t afford to lose the 50 miles of missing petrol.

AIBU to be upset? Or is this to be expected? Where has my car been!

I agree with the vast majority of posters who said this is unacceptable, I don’t agree with the ones saying to go there in person. If it’s a big national chain, I’d put in a formal complaint with their head office or CEO.

I agree it's bad but honestly I would not notice, unless it was a new car. Well done you for being vigilant. This would have sailed right over my head. I pay the bill and leave. I have no idea of my mileage

50 miles equates to about £5 of petrol....
I know it's a bit annoying and unexplained but I agree with your husband, someone probably drove it home. I really wouldn't get upset about it.

I don’t think you can do anything as you can’t prove what the old mileage or petrol level was. However I wouldn’t be using this garage again.
