Chamblee police took the owner of one car dealership into custody late Thursday afternoon. They say people bought cars from the man seeing a certain mileage on the odometer only to learn too late that mileage was way off.

Chamblee police went to the Capitol Auto and Trucks dealership late Thursday afternoon to arrest the company’s CEO Daniel Bedolla Garcia for altering the odometers of cars sold at the dealer.

Channel 2’s Amy Napier Viteri talked with one victim, Luis Ortiz Alvarado by phone who said he bought a Toyota Tundra from the dealer in August.

He says the truck’s odometer read about 98,000 miles. But he soon noticed transmission problems.

Investigators learned when the dealer bought the truck the actual odometer reading was 227,000 miles.

“I have never seen an odometer reading being altered that bad. —  130,000 miles, that’s outrageous,” said Capt. Ernesto Ford with the Chamblee Police Department.

A second man also went to Chamblee police saying he bought a Dodge Charger with 110,000 miles, according to the odometer and paperwork from the dealer.

A Carfax report showed the car really had closer to 180,000 miles on it.

Viteri went to the dealership Thursday night.  A woman inside told her they don’t want to speak about the accusations yet.

Alvarado told Viteri he’s angry. He’s also out $9,000 with no car to show for it.

“It’s very difficult because, you know, we work hard to get the money and it’s not fair for us that they do that to us,” Alvarado said,.

Police believe the owner of the dealer took advantage of clients possibly assuming they wouldn’t report the issues or even realize it was illegal.

Investigators with Chamblee police say they want any other victims to contact them.
