I hope they didn't try too hard to start the motor. Hopefully nothing is bent.
My AOS failed in the exact same way. Clouds of smoke - I turned the motor off immediately - and car would not turn over. I flatbedded it back home, and pulled the plugs out. I had a cup of oil in my #1 cylinder. The engine turned over with no resistance when all the plugs were out.
