Yep - the "gyllene medelvag" is to split it down the middle, and somehow i still end up the looser

.... I think. The guy from the garage calls me back. He tells me that he will only charge for the work I wanted to have done (which turned out to not be none, since they couldn't find any damage) and refund me for the work they did do, but that I didn't want done.
It works out that I pay about 75% of the total cost. And I still have to take it to another garage to have the tyres changed.....

Is it worth getting angry about? Not today. I'm too tired to get angry.
