I'm just curious what I likely have waiting for me.

I took my car into a shop with a very good reputation, they diagnosed the issue and did a repair that was several thousand dollars. I pick it up, and the car is exactly the same as before.

What's fair here? Obviously they did a bunch of work and bought some parts that weren't cheap, so they probably don't feel like saying "our bad, here's your thousands of dollars back" yet I just paid for a bunch of stuff I likely never needed.

What is fair?

Like I say, I haven't talked to them yet, and they might blow my mind away with how fair they are, but this seems like a pretty grey situation to me.
