I'd call em on that.  If indeed you paid to have the lines replaced and
they didn't actually do that all the way...they cheated you.  You wanna let
people cheat you without even a comment?  I'd go back there and let them
know that it maybe took some time, but you found out eventually  that they
cheated you, and you are displeased with that...Maybe they will even care.
