Default Phrustrated in Philly (truck broke down)

Long story short, my 2000 4x4 dodge ram 1500 needs it's rear differential replaced. Had it towed off the turnpike to a place in west chester, (outside philly and i'm from pittsburgh) that originally told me $800 for the part, 500 for labor, and it'd take a few days. That was monday.

Today they called me, said the place they ordered from gave them the wrong part, and the right part is going to cost $1200.

I had called my mechanic initially, and they said 800 sounds right. I also called a friend out here to see if he knew of a better place to go. I'm so screwed.

Thoughts?
