Most Body Shops will charge a lower per hour cost to repair a window because of the locked in cost allowed by insurance claims. When I ran a shop my cost was around $50 + any additional parts needed. Most of the time it was just a repair cost.
You can go to a body shop or have your alignment checked by competent personell. There may be a fee.
it really depends on your local and state laws. i know here in MI you have to have the bill completely paid before you get your vehicle back, and if you try to take it after hours you can actually get arrested for stealing your own vehicle. wacky stuff. best think would be to ask the shop and see what they say.

Does the repair shop have a lien on your car for you not paying them for repairs to the car?If they do have a lien then yes they can seize the vehicle until you satisfy the lien. As Tank said, they need to have a lien on the title. You have to have signed an agreement with the shop stating that they can lien your title and repo your car if you don't pay. Most repair shops won't let you pick the car up until you pay up. So, you must have signed something saying they could pick it up if you didn't pay. Also, repo companies may not necessarily be required to be bonded. It depends on the state. In CA I believe they do. Only a bond for the business and as required by the LENDER.
