They're called "stealerships" for a darn good reason. And what's worse is that the dealership employees who aren't completely incompetent don't tend to stay there for very long. They just up and leave for better garages (or open up their own) once they've learned about the vehicles they hope to specialize in.

Good luck, and prepare for a long fight.

This is pretty much what you're in for. I took my car to a local garage to have my winter wheels put on (before I learned how to do it myself). Someone at the shop wanted to play make-believe NASCAR Pit Crew and took an impact gun to my lug nuts without hand-threading them, first. Cross-threaded 3 of my lug nuts, which snapped three lug studs. I called them, and they flat-out denied having anything to do with it. They even fed me the bullshit claim that it's "impossible to cross-thread lug nuts". I fought and fought for months to get compensated for the repair, but unfortunately for me it was a losing battle. The only thing that I could do was leave them as many bad reviews as possible.
