I would have them do the valve adjustment and see what happens. If it does not start after the adjustment I would then do the compression test. That's not a lot of oil usage so I suspect the problem is just that it is in need of a valve adjustment.
In a worse case scenario, if the engine is shot, I'd seriously consider putting a used engine in the vehicle.
