add a tow into that and it sounds like he charged you right. did you expect him to keep your car there for free taking up space? sounds like the only person at fault is you for leavign the car there that long and/or not doing your research on how much it will cost to paint an entire car ($12k is cheap)properly.
Apparently ive been getting awesome deals on paint jobs. Ive had full color swaps done that came no where even close to 12K

a true full color swap done properly is more that just changing the outer shell color, hence 12K being cheap.

12k is cheap if your doing a full custom paint job. 12k is not cheap if your just getting a few dings filled and a stock respray.

Even $25 a day is steep but reasonable so the max they should be is $1750.

Even at that most industrial building are not renting at $25 a sq/ft, more likely $1.25 or less depending on the area. So even $25 a day is tough to justify.

They are asking for $4000 which is likely $50 a day x 70 days = $3500 plus $500 to tow. Thats retarded and I would never pay it.
LOL! I wouldn't talk about things you know nothing about.In some states it can go to 35 dollers a day.If they deem it needs cover inside storage is more.If they leave it outside they have the right to protect your equiptment you pay for the tarp and someone to install it.YOU also don't get to keep the tarp you just so called bought.WHAT you need is an attorney buddy. I know cause i've been in your situation before and i've owned my own shop.
