Shop said they found a valve at the fuel filter allowing air in the system, they replaced the filter and sealing ring at valve. Apparently the car starts and runs fine now. I have not been out to it yet, I will see when I get done at work. Is this common enough to feel confident this was the starting issue? Or should I be ever concerned and still make the drive to have the timing checked?

You just never know.
There is a valve of sorts there, a thermostatic tee, seals with a double oring. The rings can leak and occasionally the tee can crack.
Hopefully it runs great now. If not I'd be concerned they got the basic timing FUBAR.
