I try to if I can, like when I had new tyres fitted the other day, I stood there about 6ft from them watching their every move, but at Nissan they tend to get the receptionist to drive your car off to the workshop area out of your sight. - Still they slipped up a bit as I had the K1 exhaust on the car, so it was fairly obvious when their YTS lad started revving the living daylights out of my car in the workshop and once the workshop manager saw me fumming sent the young lad out to apologise to me.
Few years ago my mate took his to a main dealer told to pick it up at 4.00pm
arrived a bit early by bus and found the Spotty YTS ragging it around the roundabout trying to drift it.
He was not amused so the Service Manager told him the Spotty was "Road Testing it..!!!
I think he "sparked" out the Service Manager.
I've often said YTS training should include drifting
Plastidipped the rear valance and front fangs but felt the fog light stood out too much so put some fly eye on it

I do all my servicing, sometimes youre hands are tied due to warranty
because...... you can spend the money on better products than those normally used, do a better job a lot of the time, helps you to become familiar with you're car, if you do have a future problem you know exactly what was recently done also helps with preventative maintenance as you can see for yourself what may cause a future problem
I would use an Indy, it won't affect resale due to the car age, they are more knowledgable and better value
Post you're location and people can advise better
Might want to consider the new Cobra HFCs. I have a set and I'm very happy with them. Apparently they're designed to reduce the chance of MOT failures compared to the Berks I'm not sure when they're officially being released but you could contact Cobra direct for info. Mark at Abbey also knows about them ( they fitted mine).
Pretty sure CS could source these and help with any info

You tried heat ?
Have you tried putting the bolt back on, it may have bit on to it as you have undone it and if you tighten it the other direction it may come lose ?
Or put it back on and use an extension bar and angle it (waggle it)
...and surely there was some speed involved for it to leave the road like that in the first place and demolish the railings?
Beggars belief.
God forbid you do 44 on a 40 dual carriageway though then they throw the book at you, points, fines the lot. Because that is so much more dangerous.
Deserted dual carriageway at 3am
Madness that they can let that go, probably not cost effective to prosecute without any evidence and to gather any would take up too many resources - like looking at the CCTV footage
