Default Problems with shop need advice

I recently took my eg6 to have an h22 swap put in because the cam sprocket key broke and messed the end of the camshaft up on my d15. I brought the car into a shop about 3 weeks ago and they had it for one week. When I came to pick it up they said that the oil pump was leaking so they kept it for another day to fix it. I went to pick it up and they said the speedometer wasnt working and the vtec wasnt working either. I end up taking it back 2 more times. They said they changed out the speed sensor and engine harness and that they cant find the problem. They said it has to do with something under the dash and that I need to take it to have the electrical checked out by another mechanic and have it fixed at my expense. Should I have to pay another mechanic to fix this problem or should they have to fix it? Prior to bringing in my car for the swap There were no electrical problems with my car.

That shop is 100% responsible for your swap. Did they find the motor for you and harness,etc?

Well they haft to fix that ****. You payed for the ****, so when you get it back it should be 110% running perfect order. try to be patient with them let them know everything was fine with the car before it went in and if they refuse to fix it.. Take it somewhere else.. have it fixed.. keep the bill and go find a lawyer and sue them for an extra 1,000 for causing the trouble.

You're getting F'd pretty hard. I have to wonder how shitty the rest of the swap was...
