 The Oboe BBoard

We just got my daughter's oboe back from the shop, where they had a terrible time getting a stuck swab out of the top joint (still not sure how it happened so badly really!), and now it kind of looks like a mess inside - like what looks to be a centimetre square patch of gouge near the half hole key (on the back wall, not where the tone holes are), as well as other scratches further up. It still seems to be playing fine now, but I'm in a panic about how to tell if it'll be completely wrecked. Or if it can be repaired if it is? And how do I bring it up to the repairman? He knew it was important to be careful, and even made his own tool to do the job because his original one wasn't going to fit the bore of this oboe, so I don't know why it seems so messed up. It's a highly reputable place (not a chain store) that is pretty much the go-to place for oboists here, so this seems strange to me. And yet he didn't even mention damage when I picked it up....any advice?
