It seems like all garages are becoming like this but especially the franchised ones cos the owner just pays the black dudes feck all 
No immigrants in my work though just a lesbian

this is maybe the problem tho, people working in a country they cant evan talk the language of, or just choose to pretend they cant talk the language, also they must get paid fuck all, so they must think, "i dont get paid enough to sort these problems so fuck it"

I live 130miles away from my family, everyone else i know works, no busses run to my work, also i needed to spend most of the day on the phone to bp, their insurance company, getting quotes to fix it, sorting out a car for the rest of the time, getting somone to tow it to a garage........

if it was my car mate, i would milk it big style!
1. new engine built to same spec.
2. new fuel tank.
3. new pipes.
etc...
at the end of the day your car was running perfect (i think) so anything that is even remotely affected i would get changed, on the basis that it could fuck up in the future and you'll have to fork out of your own pocket 
i dont use BP anyway, always optimax
