Default Swap or rebuilt engine!! help

hey everyone i just had my audi checked and recently i was driving and my engine stopped! I discovered that my timing was moved thanks to a bad timing belt change.

Well i was told to rebuilt the valves for $900! and have my car running again!
Or just swap the motor and waist around the same price!.

what would be the best price and best way to go?! lemme know guys!

So just some of the valves bent? you could swap in another head but would just be plain stupid for someone to tell you to swap in a whole new long block just for bent valves.

How many valves need to be replaced?
