Untill you get the report back from the vauxhall assesor there is nothing I can say to calm your nerves .. the assesor will make his report on the current state of the vehicle ..a tech at the garage must have taken a look and told you what he thought was the problem ?? when you say it filled with smoke .. was it on fire ? who did the previous service's for you ? has anybody else apart from vauxhall dealer done any work on the vehicle ?? let me know
