I thought you could hammer the five threaded lug pegs out (which the hub and tire fit onto) if they get damaged, and put new ones in? Or are you saying the hub itself got the holes in it severely damaged from rattling around when driving with the lug nuts on only finger tight? If the latter is the case then I'd think the garage is indeed responsible for replacing the damaged hub. (and moving the tire from the damaged hub to the new one... and replacing the damaged lug peg bolts... etc)
