Here is the debunker - the timing belt keeps everything in time. This means that if the belt was correctly installed, everything would remain the same even if the computer was a learner.

They are thiefs and liars...try to get what they tell you in writing.

Blake makes a great point about getting it in writing.If a shop tells you something but is hesitant about putting it in writing that should tell you something about their credibility.I've got a story about a Ford dealership that would blow your mind,but since there is nothing in writing there was'nt much we could do about it.

They've definitely got it off by a tooth. When I replaced the front oil seal on mine I did the same thing...fortunately i had a hunch to crank it before i put it all back together. It cranked and ran but it was skipping and revving up all by itself...really rough sounding. One tooth makes a lot of difference.
Sounds like you've got one jewel of a repair shop...
