That's ridiculous. He hasn't even talked to the shop about it yet. 
People like you crack me up. Businesses make mistakes, too. Most of the time, if you approach them with some friggin class and dignity, they're more than willing to fix the mistakes.
Walking in there like you own the b!tch threatening everyone's jobs gets you nowhere fast, and probably knocked the "fork" out if we're all lucky enough.

^^ OK.
Good luck with walking into an establishment flailing around like a baby who just had their "passy" stolen from them. I'm sure you'll get real far in life acting like that.
Either they did it on purpose, or it was a mistake. Big, small, makes no difference. Give them a chance to rectify the situation before acting like an *** is all I'm saying.
EDIT - Just saw your thread where you state you're still in school. Sorry, I didn't realize. Carry on throwing fits and demanding justice, just be prepared to throw that immature **** out the window when you join the rest of us in the real world.

I wasn't trying to insult you. It's great you're trying to better yourself, good for you.
It's a different world after school, though, and you'll quickly realize you spend your whole life either dealing with angry customers or planning each day around other people's mistakes, both of which are applicable to the OP's situation.
It's obviously a big deal that his car is overheating, I'm not trying to down play that. My point was raging before even offering the shop a chance to remedy the problem is unproductive. I can't even begin to tell you how many times someone has joined this forum to blow up a vendor's spot, only to find out that had they first communicated their concerns to the vendor, they could have come to an agreement without airing their dirty laundry all over the interwebz. Happens all the time.
Good luck with your BA and your mods, sorry if I came across as insulting. We get the "school" crowd often and they sometimes are lacking in the real world department.

Ah I see ur point. Yes I have done a lot of reading here. There are a lot of "school kids here" thank you for explaining yourself. Yes OP talk to the vendor. But don't let him push u around tho. I work at a school district so I have parents screaming at me for 8 hrs a day. Not real fun.

On the plus side, paint rarely sticks well to aluminum unless it's prepped correctly. I doubt the idiots who didn't mask the area did any prep at all. Heck, they probably didn't even prep the bumper.

See pictures:
It is hard to see the radiator from the pictures, but in person you could clearly see the paint all over it.
The smoke was boiled water that was spilling out from tank i circled in red. The water was spilled all over the engine which evaporated it right away, thus creating smoke.
I took the car to the dealership first (since i still have warranty) they looked at it and said it was the fan. I decided to take the car to the shop anyway and they cleaned the radiator. We left the car idle for about 20 minutes and it didn't over heat. The temperature did go SLIGHTLY higher than normal but not too high. I went home and i left the car idle for about 10 more minutes, no problem. Then as i was going to my friend's house, i noticed that the temperature was high (by high i mean about a quarter below max). So i decided to go back to the dealership, they put a new fan and a thermostat (all covered by warranty) It took about an hour or so.
In conclusion: Cleaning radiator somewhat fixed the issue, the car stopped overheating but the temperature was still higher than normal. Changing fan completely fixed the issue. So it was probably both that caused the car to overheat >.>
Side note: After the car was done, i had to wait almost an hour for the warranty to process the payment to the dealership etc. The guy that was working on my car tuned it using uprev (free)
