I'll bet it IS mentioned...sounds like it should be anyway...I'd
follow this up If it were me. If it -is- mentioned then jump on
them!...they directly caused your new belt to be wrecked, it was
likely tighter than the old one and 'finished the idler pulley
off'...this sounds like very poor work by the garage involved.

Remember...the squeaky wheel gets the grease!...you don't owe
them anything, certainly no reason to be 'nice' after they
screwed you...
