Nice friend, sounds like you've been had. Definitely ask for your money back and also receipts, if he bought car parts with the 1K that you gave him. I would find someone else, a professional and let your friend know that. Don't let him talk you out of it.

Oh, Lord, NO don't give this clown any more money!
Has he done any work at all on this car? I mean, have you seen yourself that he has done work on this car? I'm betting not.
Get your car back so you can get it fixed.
Sorry, but you'll never likely see the money you gave him, and it's obvious that he's not going to fix the car.
Where is this friendship you're trying to save? The only friend I'm seein' is the guy who loaned you his car. Cut your losses and get clear of that other fool. He's a leech and doing nothing but getting what he can out of you.

Yes. Your 'friend' has been taking your money as long as he thought you would give it to him. Take the vehicle to a reputable person.
Or, if the vehicle in question doesn't exist, you could even get him for fraud. Something tells me this guy isn't really a friend.
