Default Urgent Advice Re Cambelt

I had a cambelt fitted by an independant garage who deals in Audi's and after a week noticed that the engine was a little bit noisier, however car was running fine.

Put car back into garage and they said after spending 3 hours looking at it, and replacing parts, no problem could be found and nothing showed up on the ECU.

Two days later about to pull up at lights and the car died, tried to turn it over and just made a weird sound.

GUTTED, been told by garage that the timing chain from the back of the car has snapped causing the pistons to damage. Been told I need new engine head, timing chain, 20 valves and cost roughly between £1000 - £1500.

Now stuck with decision on what to do as the garage also said they cannot guarantee that the car will be fine after this.

Feel sick, any advise on this matter would be hugely helpful as I am not very techinical and have no idea where to go from here.
