Take it back to the shop and tell them their work didn't last and that they should do it over again. If you have already paid some cash then you should try to get them to work on it under whatever type of gurantee they might have given you.

As for the actual cause, I really don't know myself but others on here might have an idea or two.

Sounds exactly like what mine did resulting in the $2K rebuild.
