Shop sounds utterly clueless - tow to another shop!
Keep the bill detailing what did fix the car and perhaps get some money refunded for labor not needed... Maybe. Depends on the dealership's integrity.

This is a super dumb and possibly unrelated to Evos question... but what level is your oil?

JDZNate's Abarth recently did this, would start randomly, end up being a protection against low oil.

You said your battery was over 6 years old, so you have at least a 2011? They changed the chain in 2011 that's supposed to be stronger (double linked) than the 08-10 version. Have you looked at this?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the timing chain revision in the 2012 model year?

No 2011 model, I had one with the double link. You could buy the chain in Jan of 2011.
