Got it done at a shop by my work, 20 miles away. Once I realized what they had done, not only was the car not-drivable, but they had closed for the rest of weekend.
Needed the car Monday morning. No real choice in the matter unfortunate. I have all the old parts, and videos of the problems pre-take apart.
I will be going to their corporate, and to court if need be. I put my kids in the car and drove them home before the problem became apparent, sooooo not happy about that.
