Nice bloke but terrible cars and service

I'm a motorcycle technician so I'm not stupid when it comes to this side of things. The MOT was clearly done by a 'friend', was a passable car but should of been a fair few advisory they clearly didn't want to fix. In first month it need a wheel bearing and top strut mount which I had to pay for the parts! And the swirl flaps in the manifold was bodge and the WARNING LIGHT WAS COVERED UP UNDER THE DASH!! wasn't like that when I viewed the car as I check which either means it failed between then and me picking it up or they took the good one off and fitted a broken one! After getting the car back they had broken one of the breather pipes which caused me to break down after there bodge job of tapping it up came off! I have pictures and videos to prove everything. It then developed a another fault with the throttle body sensor and foot pedal sensor causing it to go into limp mode. After explaining in a technician and the fault is intermittent I dropped the car off, he cleared the faults with a scan tool which I had done multiple time (had told him this) and then gave it me back doing a round trip of 300miles!! To then break down on the way home with be same fault when he said he fixed it!! I then told him what my job was and he started to post me parts to fit myself to fix the problem! Thing is they was all second parts parts and didn't fix it. After this I gave up speaking and asking for help even though the warranty was still in. Few months later And I have spend £1600 on timing chain and vales etc, £350 on wheel bearing (he hadn't fixed properly with decent parts) £300 on brake discs and pads (should of been on MOT as an advisory) all in 6months of buying the car and with more to go and I'm currently still fixing the wiring issue for the throttle body myself.
