If you power off the ECU completly (remove battery connection or flat battery) then all learned parameters are lost, and all the ecu counters for DTC codes and timers are set to zero this is normal and will not stop car from starting.
It likely the tinting place removed battery to stop windows jumping up/down when the opened /closed doors.
The dealer should be talking about the ECU checksum or CVN if they reckon its been tuned. And comparing it with a stock tune of same calid.
All the BRZ or 86 tunes for a year model are all the same their is no STI or TRD "tune" for these cars.
As wayno said it likely just a flat battery or some imobiliser issue.
does the key symbol on dash go green when key fob is in car and start button pushed.
Someone is bending the truth here.
In the unlikely event it isa actually tuned if you bought it from a reputable dealer they should sort the problem.

Thank you for the input I definitely appreciate just hearing more about knowledge I wouldn't otherwise have with these cars. The green key symbol would only light up when I pushed the clutch in. It may have stayed on when the car was in ACC mode but I can't recall for sure.
