Being mucked around by reputable work shop. Car was meant to be booked for the 9th but had to change to the Weds 10th (cos workshop, not me), fine since getting tuned at other workshop on Fri 12th. Still heaps of time. Getting rocker cover gaskets fixed and told sealant needs to cure over night.

Went to pick up car this morning after saying i'd pick it up 'tomorrow morning' yesterday morning when i dropped it off and when i first inquired, they said that'd be fine. Got there 11am, wasn't ready.

"should have called first", "be ready at 5". 1 hour public transport there, 1 hour public transport back home. 2 hours wasted. Pretty annoyed.

Getting close to 5. This time I call to be safe.. no answer. Keep calling between 4 and 4:30, no answer. I need the car cos it's getting tuned tomorrow and wanted to change out oil and put on y-pipe. Didn't want to miss them and it takes a while to get there so I go. Get there through peak hour traffic, and it's not ready! Then drive back through peak hour without my car which is booked for tune tomorrow.

Thought getting someone else to do the work for a change would be relaxing and trouble free, it's not!! =(
