^^^^ This is another good idea to check. With removing and reinstalling the radio it could have put the car into a security lockdown. Wont let it start. Also, the shop should definately replaced the rotor from hitting and riding on the road surface. If not, request that they do it to be on the safe side. Also, make sure they checked the caliper piston, we had a car come into our shop at work with the same thing. The wheel came off on the interstate, we towed it in, the tech couldnt get the piston to press back into the housing. Measured the distance from the face of the piston to where it seats in the caliper and the piston was cocked in the housing and jammed. New caliper, pads, and rotor.

I saw a thunderbird where the rotor had about a 3" flat spot. Needed new lower control arm, tie rod, ball joint and strut. I'd deff look at it real good and make sure it's safe
