This came in for numerous things today, was actually laughing when I noticed how bad the rear N/S tyre is, would you beleive this car is owned by a guy who works in the offices at the police station. Truly shocking.

Nope, it never came in for that. It was in because the barrell on the bonnet release was fucked and losing water.

But he works in the offices at a polioce station, so i assume he's got some form of authority whether it be himself or one of his mates/family

no need to be a prat about it

The bad thing is, the mechanic phoned the guy and told him it needs changing and the guy said he doesn't want it doing at this time

The garage doesn't have the authority to hold a car back, if it was in for an MOT that maybe a different story as it would fail the MOT on that obviously.
