Actually I did change the flat tire myself. The only thing I wanted them to do was put the tire they sold me on the car. And in doing that very simple task, they broke the car. I’m not able to make a tire myself, that’s outside my area of expertise.

There was no estimate to me for any work other than “fix a broken bolt” which I figured was a $25 job. Nothing in writing or told to me. So that’s another thing they screwed up on , nobody told me it was going to cost $300+.
