While it is physically possible for a trained mechanic to cause your odometer to stop running, doing so would be illegal in most jurisdictions. A properly-functioning odometer is necessary for insurance and vehicle resale purposes, and any form of tampering -- stopping it, or worse, setting it back to a lower number -- would be providing false information to the authorities.
