Garage did not set timing properly and think they may have ruined valves and head. They will cover any additional expenses that their error caused. What should i expect them to replace/fix. Thanks

Not too sure just be belt, valves, head, and I think one other thing, won't know till it gets torn apart.

the head should be ok
valves and guides should be replaced
it might have not bent them did they try to reset the belt
some times a 2.0 will not hit the vales if your lucky
