Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

I had my brakes serviced, and was given a quote of $146.72. When I went to pay, the charge was for $1.46. I signed the charge slip, that saved $1.46. Now the company has called me and threatened to have me arrested for theft of services. Am I responsible to pay the remaining balance?
