Sorry to hear that. Just glad you were able to get it cleaned up.

IMHO you actually can do something.
And even worse that he is a good friend of relatives. Don't let such things get into the way of getting your car back into a state where you can use it as before.
Acquaintance never relieves from responsibility. And being friends is in now way an obligation for you to let something like this slip. I would talk to my dad and uncle first and tell them that I would confront their friend with the facts of the bad work that happened in the shop.

2nd possibility and probably what i would do anyway is to change the place where you let your car service. It seems a common occurrence in that place that they mess up.

I would never let something like that slip, because grease on the seats is a real issue, to the point where you have to change the seat and probably a couple of jeans as well.

Written complaint to the owner with pictures.

When I get registration on the blazer, I'll go downtown to their shop and talk to them about serlveral things. As for now, I have no choice but to wait
