You know how customers are: If their lips are moving... There are far more customers who lie about what really happened than bike shops being dishonest. Unfortunately, bike shops have to have customers to stay in business. Customers can simply go to another bike shop.

An axle isn't real easy to bend, Even a low end one. I'd bet it takes more force to bend an axle than it would the frame. I'd take the whole bike up there and have them take a look at what's going on. They might not be able to see the whole picture with just a rear wheel. If the left side is slipping under load, it's possible that the axle would bend.
