Default 98 S70 will not start - Mechanic puzzled

took 98 s70 in to a reputable foreign car shop for rear main seal replacement which required pulling trans....

after completion of work it would not start.

They discovered that in the course of the work they damaged the cam shaft and crank shaft sensors... they replaced.....no start....

switched out ignition coil....no start....

towed to Volvo.....they haven't a clue after assessing and now want to charge $95/h to sort out....

Any ideas..

The 1st shop had to mess something up. Maybe they can help you pay the $95 per hour.

Help nothing! This is their problem, let them call you when it's ready. You pay for parts.

Maybe they bent the flywheel putting the tranny back in.

I hope you are not paying for their mistake. If your car was starting up properly before, then it's their fault. Let them fix it, and call you once they have fixed the problem. Don't pay for their incompetency.
