What is a mechanic responsible for when the break your valves while changing timing belt and water pump?

the mechanic says they are going to fix the valves for free, but should they replace all four as opposed to the 2 broken ones or should i get a new engine out of it? |||I,m gona guess the misfitted the belt and spun it up.that being the case,then they are responsible for returning the engine to the condition and standard it was before,not to repair anything else.anything more would be betterment.Dont forget that they are efectivly now repaing a broken belt situation,search for that and see just how much cash that%26#039;d cost.They have been straight enough to tell you,sounds honest to me.search for dishonest garages and see how common they seem to be.|||valves is fine but make sure it goes to a head shop for it and not cut corners to fix it right like they should have done in the first place. bet thats the last time you take your car there|||How did the mechanic break your valves?? A lot of times the valves bend when a timing chain breaks and they come into contact with the piston. Sounds like you have a really nice mechanic because he should have told you this was a possibility b4 he took the job|||some cars when the timing belt Barack many valves are pend,this happen not on all cars engines.the manufacturers give you ,90,000 miles or if the belt is to dry. you must replace it.the mechanic will ask you to change the water pump at that time, because is easier and much cheaper,is a god practise. but the brakes is ta toll different mutter.you have to pay supered for everything|||If the car was not running and they were bent .the 2 valves will be ok if took to machine shop..but if it was running the valves may have hit the piston .the cam and the crank are out of time if the belt broke . if it was running it happened when the chain or belt broke. if not the shop did something|||I, too, take it they mistimed the belt and damaged the valves while spinning it up. They are responsible for fixing whatever they damaged, if it was just the two valves that%26#039;s what they fix. If anything else was damaged, e.g. piston crowns or head, they fix that too. There%26#039;s no reason to replace anything they haven%26#039;t damaged.
