If you have the skill to see what they did wrong, you have the skill to fix it properly. Go back by all means but i would be betting they will say you broke it when you took it to bits and you cannot really prove one way or the other. Buy a gasket and fix it yourself, then you know its done right to YOUR standards. I know mine are a bloody site higher than any dealer as they are paid to fix my bike. I fix it as part of my hobby,interests. BIG difference. Take it as an experience of just what w4nk3rs dealers/garages can be. I'm sure there must be one or two good ones.
