Was I asshoe or unreasonable?

Car was pulling to the left after I hit some debris in the road following the last storm. Last Wednesday I called a new, to me, shop to try them out, and the receptionist asks if I can get it there for 8 am the next morning.
Bring the car in at 8 and walk to a coffee shop with my work computer. Drink some espresso, work, get some coffee...after 3 hours I call, same girl says no it’s not ready we need to keep it. Fine, I get a ride...drive by the shop and the car hadn’t moved.
I call Friday at 3 and she tells me the rim is bent, and they can’t align the car with a bent rim, wants authorization to fix the wheel. I question why I wasn’t called...she says she was going to when she had time. I said fix it.
I call Tuesday at 10 and they said the wheel had come in late the day before and they’d get to it that day.
I call today at 3 and they said the car would be done late, close to 5. I show up at 4:50. Car hasn’t been touched. I asked for my bill and that I want my car back. Pay $275 for the tire repair and wait for my car. They seemed put off by my request. I didn’t think I was being an asshoe, I just wanted my car.
Anyway, the repaired rim fixed my alignment issues.

I really thought it was a 2 hour job. Why ask me to come in by 8 if you don’t have an opening?

So, you were without your car for an entire week? No, you were not unreasonable. Be sure to leave them a bad review on Yelp or something....just to make you feel better!

I would have been furious. You were not an a-hole.

They thought you were a pushover. Should have gotten your husband to take it in.

You're an a-hole for not naming the shop

BTW if your rim was really bent you would have had a flat tire

So what did you pay for ? You got bent over dude
When it comes to mechanics, don't be a pussy. They are scumbag liars who hire dumbass girls to answer phones so that they can take the heat
And now with the edit your story is all over the place. Thought you were the BMW car expert ? Guess you're just a metro with more money than sense.

Crazy part...i blew the tire when I hit the debris, got a new one, and the tire balanced. This was the other side.

How else was I supposed to get my car back?
I can’t do some things, I did just tear into it...much past this stage, this is the last photo I took though. I had already done the other side of the cooling system (new expansion tank in the photo.
