Wow, you were lucky, that could have ended really badly for you.

Good luck trying to get anything out of that shop at this stage. They'll blather on about how you drove like that since Saturday, that you have done something yourself after the car left the shop, how it passed muster with their "tire tech" etc., etc.

But look on the bright side, as you said, had you been home at your regular time you would be picking wood splinters out of your Focus instead <_<
