Did they bend it or just rotate it around the frame tube?  If they bent
it they're nasty cowboys (unless they were just correcting existing
damage).  The chainset needs to be properly aligned for good chain line,
not just to get the front changer working.

They should have road tested it anyway - there's no way you can tell if
brakes or gears will work under load without trying them.
