If the only thing that went wrong was a bit of a delay then this mechanic could probably be classed as average.
As you are only just getting your license you haven't had the joy of enjoying some of the "quality mechanics"[/sarcasm] available in Australia.
My friends and I have had mechanics/dealerships/tyre places try all sorts of BS on our cars:
-Swapped brand new battery for a reco
-"Forgot" to put back one of the crossmember bolts
-"Forgot" to put back diff filler plug
-Claimed a split CV boot = broken CV = $750
-Claimed a split Pwr Steering rack boot = broken power steering rack = $3600
-Used self taping woodscrews to reassemble dashboard
-Put an additional 50kms on the car and used a quarter of a tank during a "test drive"
-Didn't clean rim before applying adhesive wheel balance weights so they started to ping off at about 80km/h after a week or so.
-Informed me that the toe could not be adjusted on the rear of my vehicle when it most certainly can.
-Probably plenty more that hasn't popped into my head right now.
