The shop should pay for the repairs, but it's much more common to simply repair your engine. With no oil, you wouldn't have made it very far so a lot of the internal parts will still be okay. Most likely what is needed will be bearings, piston rings, and possible pistons and a crankshaft. The camshaft lobes should be checked for excessive wear too.
