"spot on" the right spec or spot on the wrong spec? Ask them what references they used.

I've heard of garages fitting timing belts one tooth out of place which causes all kind of problems.

Now you need to get a report from the garage that fixed it and claim costs back against the cowboys who did the job in the first place.....
