Your first problem is taking the car to A&S. I wouldn't trust them to engineer a safe solution to your strut coming apart.

If the housing was damaged, you either need a competent welder/fabricator to weld you up a repair, or you need to replace the housing. Also, make sure to inspect the strut insert itself for damage if it's been bouncing around in the housing.

Washers and bolts sound like a real hacked solution for something like a strut. Keep in mind, if that has a catastrophic failure, you're going to crash the car.
