I think that you are better to take it to the agent for that make of car as they have the experience and know goes wrong where.

Thats an incredibly crap excuse for aborting a test! You should have complained to the branch manager.Anyone with any brains would have simply noted it and carried on, its pretty obvious to anyone in the know to check if an engine is at roughly the right temperature or not simply by gripping the top radiator hose and seeing how long you can hold on it before it starts to burn you, likewise if say the thermostat was stuck open after several minutes of driving the hose will be cold or lukewarm and may not necessarily move the needle very far!All of this of course after checking that the coolant is at the right level.

Not a true compression test with numbers. Just shows variance between cylinders. People have this impression that the AA is God. They stuffed up a number of sales for us on piddling issues by over dramatising. Rather take car to franchise mechanics.

That would be a sure fire way of losing your customer before you even got to first base
