No power steering after rear engine mount replaced

I took my Honda Civic to the car repair shop to have the rear engine mount replaced. When I picked up my car I have no power steering now. It was perfect when I took it in. There is also one short clunk sound as my engine is starting. What the heck did they do to cause this?

Return it to the shop.
They aren't finished working on it.

They're saying they did nothing to cause it.

I took a great running car in for some simple work, and got back a car with no power steering, and my car now makes a single clunk sound when I start it.

I took it to the Honda dealership. It took them a few minutes to find out the other mechanics had put the wrong tie rod ends on. It's perfect now.
