Why does my car run for five seconds after I shut it off?

Just got my car back from the body shop and now it will run for like five seconds after I take the key out of the ignition. It will sort of rev up real fast then die off, kinda like the warm up on start but when you shut down instead. What could make this happen? I'm thinking that they fucked it up preaty good. The real question is why they messed with anything mechanical when they were only fixing the body panels. The car ran fine before I took it there and had never done this before in the two years I've had the car.

You need to tell us what year/model...But it sounds like to me if you have a turbo it is just cooling the turbo down to me, with extends turbo and engine life
