I think you need to disclose the shop in question and let them feel the entire wrath of the internet. You'd be surprised how cooperative these shops become when their reputation and business is on the line. Obviously, the right thing to do here would be for the shop to buy the car from you, plus compensation for your troubles. You break it, you buy it.
