I think from my deciphering your post that you took your car to a local shop for some work and now the high beams headlights are now on? What year is your car? Most of these old beasts have a foot switch for the high beams that is under the upper left under the drivers carpet.

77-82 Corvettes have the high beam switch in the steering column, and controlled by the turn signal lever.

From the OP's post, I'd guess that the nylon portion, of turn signal/high beam switch is broken.
