Be careful here
It is possible that if you take your car elsewhere without an independent inspection they will claim any damage found occurred elsewhere.
You could have a cylinder head full of bent valves if they have mistimed it and tried to start it following a belt change, but one thing is indisputable; you would not have been able to drive the car there if that was the case and if it cannot be driven from there then there is only one place where the damage could have happened. and only one set of people that could have caused it. Once you move the car they can claim otherwise.
Also what age/mileage is the car? is the age/mileage consistent with recommendations for cambelt change or have they mislead you over this as well.
As has already been said by others what they have told you so far is B/S but if they have lied to you already what else will they lie about once you either take the car elsewhere, or if you ask them to fix it and trust what they tell needs doing and has been done.
Given it is likely they have already seriously damaged your engine I would think about your options and consequences very carefully before making any decisions.
As always
