What are friends for?

Today, I asked my best male friend to help repair my car because it broke down. He responded, “Why don’t you ask the lovely guy you’re dating instead, since obviously he’s better than me?” Apparently he’s still upset I didn’t reciprocate his romantic feelings and chose someone else. FML

He is right, though. Regardless of hurt feelings, it is not his job to fix your car. Now if your BF asked him for the help, it is a different story. Don't friend zone someone, start dating someone else Nd expect the friend to be at your back-and-call. This will cause rifts between you and your BF causing jealousy and distrust. So friend did the right thing to protect your relationship. I see it as him respecting your choices and relationship.

From the looks of it, it looks like you were using him as a confidante and an auto repair friend, he told you he liked you and you didn’t reciprocate, then you started dating someone else and STILL expect him to kiss your feet and do favors for you. Leave him alone so he can find someone who appreciates what they have in front of them instead of looking for greener grasses. Either get your amazing boyfriend to fix it or hire a mechanic who has no ties to you whatsoever. YDI

You can't predict if you are going to develop feelings for another person. I think that you may need some time apart while he deals with this.

they’re best friends and he obviously knows cars since she asked him for help… I hate that men can’t do favours for others unless sex is involved

It's weird that you refer to a guy you friendzoned as "your best male friend". You didn't reciprocate his romantic feelings, and it sounds like he doesn't reciprocate your "best friend" feelings.

Friends help friends. Your guy friend isn't a friend. He wanted a sexual relationship, that's why he was nice to you. He attempted to manipulate you into giving him sex, and when he didn't get it he withdrew his "friendship". He's not a friend. He's not a nice guy. He's manipulative.

Why didn't you ask your boyfriend? Is he not a handy type? Is your guy friend a mechanic? More context is needed to give the best vote.
