And yes, it sounds like your shop of choice might suck.
i believe it was right around 118-128 if im correct...well i did a compression test last night...and failed with flying colors..130..60...95...20...i thinking a blown head gasket and warped block...funfun
wow......... omg, lawyer time.
Not to insult your intelligence but did you have all spark plugs out during a compression test when you cranked over? Also did you have the throttle to the floor wide open? ALSO did you pull the fuel fuse so that you didn't wash the oil away from the seals (i forgot this one when i did mine)
If you did all those, do me/you a favor and do the same test and drop a little bit of motor oil down inside through the spark plug holes, let's see if your compression instantly gets higher from that. You need just enough to run along side the piston and drip along the edges to improve the seal.

OH... AND SUE THE SHIT OUTA THAT INSTALLER!
