When they ask for your reg and say they will phone back in a minute, and you chase 4 hours later and they give you some bollox excuse and tell you they will phone back and don't bother, if they don't want the work why not just say so. If I treated my customers like that I would be skint.

Just curious - I know some places get swamped with calls... and it can be hard for owner-mechanics to actually get any work done. I know a couple that just take notes at the time.. and do the pricing work in the evening, before calling back the next day. Doesn't apply to them all, I know.
