(1) That's "rip off" language for "we just put it at the back of the shop, & did f**k all. Now give me a lot of money you brainless bimbo"
If it's losing as much air as you said, then THERE IS SOMETHING TO FIND! It's either a problem with the tyre (puncture etc) or a problem with the valve. It may be that all it needs is the valve nipping up with a valve key. A house trained chimpanzee should have been able to find the problem!
(2) What's wrong with the guy? A GZ's a GZ. I've had mine for 3 years, & o.k., it's no crotch rocket, but it's ideal for what "I" want. i.e. a VERY nimble bike in traffic, & more than adequate when most of our roads have the equivalent of a 30 mph limit. So what's he trying to do? Is it "You've got a tyre problem that can't be fixed, on a bike that's a piece of shite. Why don't you let me sell you an overpriced crotch rocket that I can't shift."
Best piece of advice I can give you is to avoid that shop like the plague. I truly reckon your dad can do as good as (if not better) than this con man (that's what dads are for - I should know :whistle: ) on the simpler jobs.
Sorry about the rant, but this guy's making sparks come out of my ears.
