sometimes the head needs to be reskimmed, alot of places dont do this and send the head away to someone who can.
Should not take 2 weeks, few hours depending on the engine.

so the garage only has your car to work on n no others, head would probably been sent of to be skimmed which would probably take a week and then theyd have other work around tht two weeks sounds more thn fair, n just cos its a 1.2 dont mean its any less work than a 2.0

can be quite a big job and as others have said they may not be spending 100% of their time on your car. did they tell you how long it would take? might be worth speaking to them
