trying times!!

Well, I`m quite miffed at the mo, My boat went into the engineers in mid September for an engine service & to have the old wiring sorted out, its now 10th November & my boat is still in the boatyard with the engineers & has cost me two & a half thousend £££s up to date, But as yet the leg is still off the boat & the wiring is nowhere near finished.
I have lost count now of how many times I have gone to see the man & been told "yeh, it`l be ready for the middle of next week."
It seems like next week never comes, Yes! there has been some delay in getting parts, due to the recession, But I would have thought they could have at least have made the effort to do the work that they did have the parts for.
This morning I took in a horn to replace the broken one & was greeted with the fact that the man has taken a few days off & won`t be back til Friday, So! there`s another week it won`t be ready on.
I think that I should tell the man next week that this isn`t good enough, 8 wks is long enough for any service & half a dozen re-wires.
Am I being a bit too impatient or is it reasonable to think that as the work was paid for in advance & I have done a lot of traveling to provide all the bits they required, that they could have done the job within 2 months.
