HELP, car won't start and been in body shop for over a month.

Having some body work done to my car and it's been at the shop for over a month. I saw it last week wednesday and they where driving from one stall to another to reassemble. Today they where unable to start it. It turns over but won't start. They are claiming the plugs are fouled up bad. I have iridium plugs and don't think this would be the cause. Any ideas guys?

Also, if it started when you brought it in, why would you worry, that thing sure as hell better start when you get it back... or looks like THEY have some work to do, NOT YOU

You know I didn't ask them to check b/c I figured they would make sure feul is getting to the lines by hitting the schrader valve, but tomorrow I will go by the shop and check for myself.
More often then not, it's always the simple things we forget to check. Thanks

Update.
Got my car back today (was away in BRAZIL for 8 DAYS, what a place...that's another story) and reason she wouldn't start was heavy carbon build on the plugs from being started for only a minute or two every few days.
She looks good too.
