Overcharged

I had hired a car for the weekend and on the return of the car, the person inspecting the car informed me that there was a nail in the front left wheel. I asked if I should repair it and i was told that it isnt necassary, the wheel will be fixed/repaired with a plug as the wheel wasnt flat, the nail didnt punture the wheel. I handed in the vechicle keys. Whilst waiting on my deposit to be paid back, woodford Car Hire's has a 7 day turn around, I was actually paid back my deposit after 14 days and I was charged R2702.00 for the wheel with the nail. Upon enquiry,I was told that the wheel had to be replaced, at a price of R2702.00 its more like they bought four new wheels.

I have attached the picture of the wheel with the nail in, question. I was charged R2702.00 for the replace of the attached wheel, not the repair, the replacement of a wheel on a Toyota Starlet, not a BMW or a Lexus or a Range Rover, A toyota Starlet. The price I am being charged is for the replacement of 4 wheels on the car. I dont think this company understands that I should be charged far far less for a repair and not be held liable for a replacement as this is not a reason to replace a whole wheel.
It really feels like daylight ******* as your prices and your logic on why you should charge me R2702.00 for a nail in a wheel is actually disturbing. This feels like complete case of exploitation.

I will again very clearly state, no paper work was offered for me to sign in the event of damages or any sort, i was told its good they will plug the wheel by the first employee, then as i walking to the airport side, i bumped into another employee,who i explained to what happened he said,its fine we will fix it but just please give us a good review.

The most pathetic service ever received, Woodford, your service and employees are just horrible!! I am still waiting on some kind of reasonable answer to my questions, i even have proof of a car dent that cost only R500 for repairs from the same branch Woodford branch on a toyota rav 4, yet I get charged R2702.00 for a tire on a toyota starlet?? You have to be kidding me. Please get back to me with my refund, I will be waiting for your response.
