The problem is the wheels were dirty after I left so I couldn't see the scratches.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

That's what I'm worried about. The problem is the wheels were dirty after I left so I couldn't see the scratches. But I'd just waxed them a couple days before so I know what was there and what wasn't.
Yeah it's a lesson you just learned.
You should go over your car/wheels with the person you are working with at the place you are leaving your property with, and then go over it again when you return to pick up ... before you leave.
GL in getting them to fess up with doing the damage now that you left.
I had the same thing happen to me at Discount Tire where I had been doing business for 4 years. I called them as soon as I got home, which was about 10 - 15 miutes after leaving their shop. Talked to the service rep woh helped me and he said we'll make it right. I drove back to the shop and showed them the problem. They scheduled a time for me to drop the car off the next week and two hours lated the wheels was touvhed up to my satisfaction.
Call them and tell them what happened. The worst thing they can say is "No, we didn't do that to your wheel" and you are no worse off than you are right now. If they ask you to bring the car back for them to look at then yu have a good chance of getting then to take care of the wheel repair.
If they are a Tire Rack supplier, they'll usually send them back and replace them at no charge. That's why there are occasional 'scratch & dent' specials. This is how I buy my winter wheels.
