Sure would! And that's the garage's problem, not yours. They have an
obligation to perform the servicing correctly, and to fix it if it wasn't.

That's what I meant by something "not reconnected properly". Suppose they
damaged a sensor or something? Or hooked up a vacuum line in the wrong
place?

Besides investigating the strong possibility the belt alignment is off,
they need to do a thorough check to make sure no other mistakes were made.
