This is a major contributor to the less than perfect (aka: quickie) PPI. When a small shop (probably one-man, in this instance) says to a likely paying customer that they are booked for two weeks, then that means they are slamming busy at the time and probably have well over two weeks of work already in the shop. As you have unfortunately found out, "too busy to do it right now", means exactly that. I'm not saying that you got what you deserved for "begging a bit", but persuading the mechanic to take on a job that he did not have time for was a mistake.
