timing belt broke but but bongo fixed for £440

Got my bongo back and the parts replaced ...rocker assy, gasket valve and timing belt. The bongo 95 is running fine but is there anything to ask the garage about what they have done to ensure the engine is fine. They have said they used info on ford ranger engine and fixed accordingly. Many thanks
