In Ohio, unless you received a written estimate, OR you signed paperwork saying you DID NOT WANT an estimate, you owe nothing. That's the law here. Been through this many times on the other side of the deal. Once had a lady go bezerk because we put wiper blades on her car without consent. $11.00. She would not pay for them. We put her old torn up ones back on. Also by law in Ohio, if they take their seals back out, they must return the cylinders in" Like condition" to the way they were brought in. Often referred to as the AAMCO law, where AAMCO would bring your car in, disassemble the transmission, and announce it will take $5000.00 to fix it. There is a set disassembly and inspection fee period. Usually a couple hundred bucks. You need to check the laws in your state and see if you have any ground to stand on. Possibly, you can negotiate a cost you both can live with.
