Got a question for any car mechanics on here..

My g/f's Corsa had the oil changed last week at a garage and on saturday the head gasket blew making a big hole in the rad aswell. I checked the oil level and it's well over what it should be so they have definately overfilled it. Question is, can this lead to head gasket failure?

The car was recovered to the garage and they admitted the oil was too high but say it's totally unrelated to the head gasket going. He originaly said the rad needed changing which he did then called to say it was the head gasket. So now the rad has been done we have to pay 209 quid to get the car back as it is, not working. Or, we have to pay a total of 650 quid to get it back fully fixed! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Are we being done?
