I will take it back to them installed in the car now and ask them to do a load test.

You are performing a load test by turning-on all the electrical accessories and measuring the voltage across the battery terminals. At 13.4V your battery is still getting charged.
I just thought of something... Does it change (drop) when the RPMs are increased??
