Replace a rear tire, throws out front end?

So, we had a bulge on the rear drivers inside dual tire. It was replaced in Milwaukee (they charged our credit card $200 more than quoted.) Anyway, now we have both front tires totally shot, the inside of both front tires is totally worn. They were fine before fixing the rear tire. If they did something wrong in the rear, can that be the cause of the front end issues now?

    No but the front end alignment may be skewed if it's not raised correctly with jacks .
    If you have a quote that's exceeded by $200 and you didn't agree to a new quote just deny the excess through the credit card company.
    Proving they damaged your unit will be impossible I'm afraid .
    Good Luck, Mike

    Did they lift a single rear corner to replace a tire or lift the entire rear end?

    Pot holes and frost heaves will damage tires and result in "bulges" in tread and/or sidewalls.
    They also throw off your front alignment and cause tire wear.
    Good Luck, Mike
