Default garage fitted cambelt kit and rocker gasket, now car wont start

Just got a call from the garage saying they did the work and they left it ticking over but now the car won't start and 'there is no feed to the fuel pump', anyone know what might be causing the issue? Had no problems what so ever before over 3 months of owning the car, started first time every day without fault.

Thanks

I'm not sure they are closed now got to wait until tomorrow. I dunno if it's the same with all imprezas but my immobiliser needs to be pushed before starting the car, when the ignition is on. I told them about this. So if it's been left unlocked the car needs to be locked then unlocked then started? That may well be it (i hope it is that simple) haha!

There's a connector under the rear seat bench that can burn out. I've certainly noticed mine can get pretty warm. Maybe coincidence it's happened when they've had it.

Thanks for the replies. I'll let you all know how it goes at least by the sounds of it it can't be too expensive to fit if it is something like a connector or crank sensor or even the immobilizer

This.

I'm very nervous when my wife isn't working on the car as most others **** up 50% of the time and she has to rectify their work anyway.

There was a big argument on one of the top tuners facebook page a few weeks ago where someone accused them of only caring about high powered Subarus.
