You're asking questions nobody on earth can answer but the dealer who did
the work.

Firstly, calm down.

Secondly, phone them in the morning if you're that worried about it.

Thirdly, a plug is a perfectly acceptable form of repair, but they may have
actually patched it then inaccurately called the fix a "plug" on the
invoice. Auto dealership employees are not Pulitzer prize candidates.
