Wasted $400 on a drysuit zipper repair that failed in 2 weeks

I took my drysuit to a shop in Norfolk that said they specialized in diving gear. Paid $400 to have the front zipper replaced. The second dive after getting it back the zipper blew open at 30 feet. Had to abort the whole job and lost a full day of work. Turns out they used a cheap zipper not rated for commercial use. Anyone else had bad luck with repair shops cutting corners on parts?

Did they show you the brand on the replacement zipper before installing it?
