Sounds like a garage to avoid in future, might be a good idea to post up the details of the dealer, but be careful to be absolutely accurate else they might be able to sue you for defamation !
I had a similar thing a few years back with a week old Golf V6 4 motion when I was treated by my other half to an expensive weekend at a leading Hotel in Canary Wharf in London with valet parking...the car did 30 miles in the car Park ( according to the hotel) And a pristine clean car was returned filthy, only noticed the following day as we left after dark and I didn't look at the speedo reading till the next day when I noticed the dirt and guessed the car had been on a jolly! The hotel couldn't give a s..t when I complained, needless to say never used that hotel again, I guess this must be close to theft or at least using the car without the owners permission? Not enough respect around these days.
Ever since then I always note the speedo readings and check on collection. When you leave a car at a dealer (or anywhere) it's a good idea to make sure the mileage is noted on the job card, that way they know you're checking!

in the UK it is classed as TWOC (taken without owners consent)
