Restarting After 3 years of Storage

[Paul L 55]

I recently helped my wife get her deceased parent's 2011 ES (13000 miles) to a dealer after it sat for three years without being started or moved.  I did some reading on the internet about the multiple steps and precautions necessary before attempting to start a car in this condition, including lubricating the cylinders with "fogging oil."  The dealer's maintenance staff ignored my concerns and after simply turning over the engine for a bit to "pump oil into the top of the engine," proceeded to start it up.  When I questioned why they had taken that approach, I was told that the engine tolerance are so tight and the new metals used in these engines, that this procedure was sufficient and the engine would not be damaged.  I asked if Lexus had a written protocol for such circumstance and was no.  Can anyone comment on this scenario?  Am I being overly concerned with the potential for damage to the engine and were the dealer's procedures appropriate?  Thanks!

I have a few questions about the procedure:
1. Did they drain and fill all fluids, including the gasoline?
2. Did they check and replace, if necessary, all air filters?
3. Did they replace the battery?

If they did, I don't think that any damage had occurred when they started the engine.

It's normal with modern engines with that many miles on it to bump the starter a few times to pump oil into the pistons. No reason to be alarmed.
Brand new engine? That's a no no. 

If the gasoline had stabilizer in it just add fresh fuel. If it didn't or you don't know it would be best to remove the old fuel, but not required.
