I believe the wheel bolts are M14x1.5 thread.

 

If you are planning to run a tap through them, I would have a very careful look at the threads. If they have been crossed and you recut them, they will be weakened. Any doubts at all and the hub should be replaced... I have seen previously damaged hubs that have been helicolied, but I'm not sure I would fancy that idea...

take it back to the garage and tell them to sort it.
