Well, one possibility would be to try the third (second #2) on your list,
and if that doesn't work, then go for hiring someone.  But regardless, if
it were me, I might take photos, contact the original shop that did the
botched fix, and try for some reimbursement.  Of course, that's a real long
shot, since you are not local, and the shop might just brush you off.  You
might have a better shot at that if you use a local shop, and document.  I
once had a dealer in Little Rock replace a water pump.  It went bad just
800 miles later, and in Colorado.  I had Rocky Mountain Westy in Fort
Collins replace it, documented completely, and the dealer in Little Rock
reimbursed me for the failed pump and labor.  I did have to return the bad
pump to the dealer.
