Give them a call and ask them. If they agree, you're sorted. If not, you carry on with small claims.

It seems to be an article of faith on Boards that SIMI are of no help in consumer issues with garages. The OP's experience would seem to contradict that.

I know of one person who got a positive outcome from the SIMI procedure; but plenty that got nothing - odd exceptions to rules exist.
