"What can we do about this"
Get it repaired properly or replaced with a new subframe.
As regards the dodgy mot garage and getting them to pay for a proper repair - best of luck with that, they will deny it. (Been there - got the tee shirt).
You can complain about the dodgy MOT garage using this form.
