No the car hasn't been fixed, the $2500 includes labor at $115 an hour to tear the head off, check valves to see if they are bent, replace valves, put head back on and put on new timing belt, tensioner. On the TDI when you snap a timing belt its expensive to fix if you take it to a dealership, my friend said either it will cost as little as $300 to fix (throw a new timing belt on it and a headgasket) or as much as $800 (if valves are bent), but i'm willing to spend that, since he's offering to do all the labor for free.
