Poor customer service and overcharged!

No one would provide an itemized billing of the service. Not the GS roadside center or the tire shop.

No bill, no payment.
YOU had the upper hand and voluntarily caved.

NOW you should dispute the charges with your Credit Card company.
I hope it wasn't a Debit Card.

There might even be usury laws in the state where this happened that are designed to prevent price gouging. Not likely maybe but possible.

If you dispute/have charges cancelled on an auto repair the shop can and likely will get a "mechanic's lien" on the vehicle which gives them the right to impound and eventually sell the vehicle to pay for the repairs. Usury laws generally only apply to interest rates, there is seldom price controls on services and goods unless there is a natural disaster.
As others have pointed out the cost to cutting off parts is not in the time it actually takes to cut it off, it is the time it takes to go to the site, make the cuts and return to their location. It is the fuel to get to you and back. It is the insurance they have if a spark or flame from the cutting torch or equipment burns your rig down to the ground. It is the wear and tear on the cutting tools. It is the pay for the guy who does the work, who quite likely didn't want to work on a Saturday any more than you do, hence he gets time and a half.
I find it very funny that people always say that they pay to much for services they either cannot or will not do.
