You can't make this up

When I worked on bikes, one of the younger guys had a sport bike get away from him down the road. The customer literally watched his own bike slide through the parking lot on its top, and calmly walked into the showroom and pointed to a bike, "I want that one," and that's what he left on thirty minutes later.

The shop should have written you a check and the rest is kinda like, Not Your Problem, Man. As in, the check amount should cover any and all minor hassles like finding a shop to do the work.

You getting three estimates and all that? That's you doing someone else's job for them.
