Aside from the fact that your post is one long run-on sentence which makes it extremely difficult to read, you are not asking a question related to insurance, but one related to contract law and/or state consumer laws.
You need to direct your question to the state agency that handles automotive repair shops. In CA we call it the Dept of Consumer Affairs, Bureau of Automotive Repair. If the repair shop has failed to follow prescribed state regulations, you may not have to pay anything.
