Default Body shop trying to charge me for something I did not OK to fix

Ok full story.

Buddy backed into my car while it was parked, was found 100% at fault and SGI OKed for me to get my car fixed on their dollar.

I took it to a local place and told them specifically before I left, if you have to do ANYTHING that is going to cost me a cent DO NOT DO IT! At the very least, call me first and I will tell you. He says oh ya ya, its all on SGI's dollar don't worry. Car will be ready by the end of the week.

That was Nov 10th. Today, November 27th, I get a phone call saying that my car is ready. They fixed the door and had to fix some dents on the front and rear fender because "it looked like #*#%, and I just couldn't paint over it like that" I said ok fine, so were even I just come pick it up?

He says I can come pick it up any time, its ready, and when i get the $100 for the rear panel dents he fixed, I can just pay him.

I said what? I told you specifically not to do anything unless you told me first, he said ya I just got SGI to cover the front panel because it was required to paint to blend in the door, but they won't cover the rear panel so its just $100.

So I left it as, I will come by after work and grab my car. Did not agree to pay him or anything.

It is only $100, but it is the principle of it. I drive a 2003 Alero, I could care less if it has dents or dings in the fenders, it was my university car because it was good on gas and will be getting sold within the year for an upgrade.

What should I do?
