AIBU to refuse my neighbour asking to share my car repair booking?

[whoahokeycokey]

Currently have a mobile car body shop repair man on drive. I asked him if he wanted to rearrange due to heat and he replied with ‘if it’s ok I’ll come early and put a tent/shade up, crack on and be gone before heat kicks in.’
great, happy with this. Told my neighbour, just in case she was disturbed and she was fine with it.

Roll on this morning and the guy arrives 7.30 to set up, he’s actually really quiet. Neighbour pops out walking dog and says to him
’seeing as you’re going to be done early can you do a few bits on mine and as tent etc is already up I can move my car so you won’t have to move it’
it is an all day job I was booked for, but he’s started at 7.30 instead of 9.30 and aims to be finished by 2.30 instead of 4.30.
I’ve just had 3 WhatsApp messages to ask me if I can get repair man to agree and that it’s only fair due to her being disturbed very early this morning. I’m literally agog!

She’s entitled to refuse that the neighbours moves her car into her driveway, but yes - pass it on to the repair guy making it clear to him he’ll have to move his tent to neighbours property.

Don't get involved, it's nothing to do with you. WhatsApp her and tell her 7.30 is not early for a weekday, and that you have no intention of getting involved. It's up to the mechanic.

I'd laugh at her if that was me.
Height of cheek .

Say 'not my call', and you really can't force someone to work longer hours for something they hadn't planned/booked for.

What an idiotic neighbour.

up to him, just don’t let her use your driveway .
what disturbance r u making up to her , getting your car fixed . Fuck her . She can make her own arrangements

Superb!

Think of it this way OP. You’ve learned to stay away from her in future

I think she's taking the piss. Tell her that her wanted to start early and leave early so it's not convenient.

She's trying to get something for nothing. She didn't make the booking but she's willing to use the fact that you did. If the repair man finishes your job to your satisfaction, and doesn't hurry it, then it's up to him what he does next. But no, she can't use your drive, and she should be asking him herself. She sounds like the type who'll want a good discount off him "because you're already here."

No is a complete sentence.

It’s just a cheeky extension of the “while you’re here” heard by plumbers, sparkys etc. every day. Where the customer expects another “little job” done for free.

Well it's been updated since and didn't happen. But I thought it was very obvious that 'his decision' also means that he would relocate to the neighbour's driveway. Different appointment, different arrangement. Doesn't matter what the entitled neighbour says - he's a professional, so if he had agreed he should make it clear that the work takes place on the neighbour's driveway. So nothing to do with OP unless she felt the need to say: "If you agree to do it, please don't do it on my driveway." But you generally don't need to tell professionals that.

she's batshit. all she needs to do is book him in herself on another day. He is within his rights to not want to work in this heat, loads of businesses/jobs amended last week to suit the heat.
