Garage #1 did not remove the tires from the rims. He simply rotated them.
Garage #2 said the tires were mounted on the rims backwards. He removed them and remounted them.
So was this an error of mounting the tires on the rims, or installing the wheels on the car?

The directional tires either run clockwise or counter clockwise. Two on the left side running counter clockwise and two on the right side running clockwise. If you could not create that combination with the tires as mounted, then one or more was mounted "backwards".
Someone just not paying attention to what they are doing.
