If its done in a hurried way you'll end up with a bubble in there. And a bubble in there could split the coolant tank just a little bit (for now) so that you get a drip leak. It could eventually split open the old, brittle, original coolant tank and spill all the coolant while you're driving -- $600 and a tow (ask me how I know this). So they need to check for leaks and get out the air. If they did fill with an Airlift like most Porsche shops that know what they're doing, so that all air is out, and you have the most recent coolant cap to ensure an air-tight seal then you have a leak somewhere else.
Check the dip stick like I said.

p.s.
If you're near North Jersey (Newark Airport) try R.O.C.S. in Belleville. They do vintage Porsche and new Porsche.
In-house lazer alignment, no touch wheel mounting, they work on Rolls Royce, Bentley and BMW as well.
