They have told me they cannot figure out what is wrong with the motor.

I asked them if they thought it might be the timing and if the valves might have gotten bent (2 & 4 cyl might have been intake and exhaust valves that got bent).
You're in a tough spot. If you can turn a wrench I would say do the work yourself. I often do as don't trust professional mechanics. I know it's unfair of me but over the years I have come to my own conclusions. Honestly I would not pay myself for a repair as I would take too long...

Pay for it and pull the head your self and check the valves. Then sue them to get your money back. OR get a lawyer and sue them upfront to reach a settlement. I bet they did not tighten/replace the idler pulley causing the timing belt to fail.
