Not starting

So I went to pick my truck up fri from ford. After spending 1200 dollars. I get in it and the check engine light is on. So they tell me to wait while they check it out. Now they say it won't start and asked me if I have ever had problems starting it. So now they say I need a new computer.

Do you think I would be responsible for this. I never had any starting issues before they took the hole top of the motor down.

What did you take it to them for? Did you drive in under its own power? Did you have a CEL when the truck got there?

I took it there cause it was idling crazy. Yes I drove it there. And no the CEL was off. They changed the head temp sensor and some other stuff.
