Bring it to their attention and pay them for the work you agreed to and they actually did. How would you feel if they charged you for something that they didn't actually do? Like you got ripped off?
It you want to have a business relationship of mutual trust with them, the answer should be obvious. You trusted them to do the work you request for the price they quoted, follow through on your part and pay them what they are owed.

Let me put it this way - I help out at a small indy and this time of year the bike repair business is slow as it probably is in NH. Losing $500 +/- for the tires is a big deal for the shop in the winter. It does make a difference.

I'm a concrete contractor. Few years ago a builder that I worked for owed me some money and was going out of town for 10 days and wanted to pay me. We met up and ****, I had forgotten my briefcase and invoice, and I had so much going on I couldn't remember the amount they owed me.
No biggie, I'll catch you when you're back. I was talking to the husband and I noticed his wife writing a check. She handed me a signed, blank check !!
Fill in the amount and Text me a pic of the invoice when you get home she said. To say I was stunned was an understatement. I'm covered in tattoos, have the ZZ Top beard going on. Thing is, I have been doing their work for 25 years, and had built up THAT level of trust.
I'm sure others have similar experiences. That **** feels a whole lot better than pilfering a couple hundred dollars worth of ****....
