I know I'm the only one in Alaska, but here goes anyway.
You would think, hope, pray that when you take a vehicle into a shop that you will get it back fixed. The things you asked to be done were done and done correctly. I took my Mitz Galant to a shop that specializes in drivelines. They were supposed to replace my rear wheel bearings and rear outboard CV joints. I supplied the parts from the dealer because there are no aftermarket parts for the rear. When they called me to get it the ABS light was on. No problem, we'll fix it. There fix was to remove the warning light. I had a way to check. But there were other things wrong. Saturday I checked over the car for anything else. They didn't replace the CV joints and they may have screwed up the bearings. The spindle drive flanges are loose and one of the ABS speed sensors is broken off. The left wheel made horrible noises when turned backwards. When I backed the car out of the hangar, the left rear wheel locked up. I had to jack the rear end back up and drag it out to the parking lot.
I had just drove that car 60 miles from home to work. I called the shop and they said "no problem, we'll fix it". Ya, right. Just like the last time. No Way Jose. The outfit is in Wasilla, Alaska and they are called Alaskan Axle Builders.
