One of the worst problems a car owner can ever have is to have to odometer repairs done to their vehicle. In the US, it is a serious crime to change your odometer readings. You can be fined a thousand dollars per instance and spend up to six months in jail depending on your previous criminal background history. Some states have even harsher penalties for committing odometer fraud. What do you do if you have a real odometer repair that is needed? If the repair is to adjust the lights or the way the digital display is working, you should not have to worry about the problem. The digital meters will keep on tracking your mileage even if the display should go out for some reason. Hooking up a device to the computer in the vehicle will tell the dealer what you mileage is even if you cannot see it. However, you can have the odometer repaired if it quits working if you take it to an authorized location and report the fact of the repair to the local courthouse that takes care of your title. Do not take any chances and always do a full disclosure on the odometer repair. You might ask what type of repairs should be reported. First, odometers are maintenance free, and built so that no repair should ever be needed. The odometer should last longer than the entire vehicle. Sometimes, in rare circumstances, an accident might cause the odometer to quit working or work incorrectly. If it is working incorrectly, you might have to have it calibrated, but this is extremely rare. The odometer is built to be very simple and should not have to be repaired except in the direst of situations. Most repair shops or dealers would recommend that you do not attempt to have any odometer repairs done even if the odometer was malfunctioning. The paperwork and possibility for problems with making an odometer repair is quite high and most people wish to avoid this problem if possible. Many people search the Internet for answers to most anything including how to 'repair' their odometer. You should avoid attempting this solution because if you are caught and you are not an authorized person who has been given permission to make the changes by the state, you will regret the decision and most probably spend a great deal of time in jail. Even if you only want to correct the odometer for yourself and do not plan to sell the car, it is still illegal to do so. Do not make this mistake and only take your vehicle to an authorized location if you believe you need an odometer repair on your vehicle. |
