i did not give him permission to fix it but he did it anyway. i then called my uncle who is a mechanic and lives in a different state. i explained what was wrong with my car and what the mechanic had said needed fixed. my uncle said something totally opposite and also cost alot less. is this guy trying to get money out of me. would it be a crime if i just take my car and not pay him since i didnt agree to nothing and signed nothing?

Since he was only suppose to look at it, it seems he could be screwed, especially if the vehicle starts messing up. A retarded mechanic who is probably trying to swindle money from you. After all, you didn't sign anything.

Did your uncle, in some other state, see your car? If not, how can he say what is wrong or what it will cost to fix it? Apparently you weren't clear when you dropped your car off that you only wanted an estimate, and there was to be no work without your approval. Believe me, no mechanic wants to do something he wasn't told to do. At any rate, the work is now done, your car is fixed, and the mechanic deserves to be paid. You will not be allowed to take your car without paying for the work done. You can express your displeasure with him if you want, but the bottom line is, if you want your car, you will have to pay. Make sure you get a receipt, and once you have it back you can consider making a complaint with whoever licenses repair shops in your state, or contact the Better Business Bureau, or even take him to small claims court for a refund. Next time make sure you understand what you are asking for if you drop off a car again.

You should have been quoted a charge to look at the car. You DID agree to have him find out what the problem was and owe him for that service. If you did not agree to repairs, you are probably not legally required to pay for repairs.
