why don't you try to scan it yourself?
I don't know how the lab is doing it, but you can lock exposure and film base in vuescan to prevent auto adjustment on every frame. You'll only need to do this once for each roll.

Sorry for not being clear. I do my own scanning. Unlike I have control when develop my own b&w negatives, but I can't control photolab for pushing my underexpose colour negatives...
Is there any shop which will not alter my films?

From what I know, the C41 machine setting is fixed. Unless you request them to push or pull, they will dev it at box speed. I might be wrong, so I would love to know as well
The processing time for E6 and C41 are fixed, the lab will run a test strip everyday to make sure the results is consistant.
Labs won't do pull or push processing unless instructions given by photographera, but for color neg, usually nobody do pull or push processing for C41, unless the exposure is two to three stops different.
May I know how you exposed your negative?

i think it is your scanner doing the alteration, if you've not turned off auto exposure. Also color negatives don't react well to under exposure, so those are difficult to save in any case.
