Did this shop damage my car?

I have a 997 turbo tiptronic only mod is a Gmg exhaust with cats. Recently the drivers side radiator was leaking so I took it in for a replacement. The shop installed an OEM radiator and they held it under pressure overnight and they said it had a leak. I th ought this was fishy. They then said they would get an actual Porsche radiator brand new and install it and they did that. In total my car was there for 1.5 weeks.

the shop is also an APR dealer so I had them install their tune. They also replaced a drive belt. I picked up the car today and noticed it has an airbag light. I'm guessing they may have damaged a sensor in the front end when they removed the bumper? Also when driving the car feels slower than stock. I didn't go all out due to weather but in sport mode it was only building 2 psi at 4K rpms.

I am extremely angry that this shop would charge me several thousand dollars and return my car to me in this shape. They are closed currently as it's late but I have left them a very angry message

Did the shop damage your car? Nothing sounds like it can’t be corrected quickly.

Does an APR tune package include an access port that allows you to remap or customize the tune? I have a Cobb tune and I can change the settings through the OBD ll port. If an access port is not provided, then the tune may not have been installed properly, and will need attention from your shop.

The airbag light doesn’t sound like a huge problem, but is definitely annoying. The shop should make that right. I would be somewhat annoyed with a shop that takes over a week to install a radiator. I had my shop replace my clutch and pin my coolant pipes, which requires the engine to be removed, in significantly less time.
