The lines do not need to be cracked to bleed it. It's self bleeding. If you crank it and it starts the lines are bled. If you were driving the car at 60 they were bled before you even got it out of park. The shop most likely screwed up one or more of the delivery valves, or did not get the holder torqued down. Or did not replace the copper washer on top of the valve.
