Re: Mechanic charged me for $400 and my car wont even work.

A letter to the BBB and the local chamber of commerce helps, too.

If he has a warranty, then he should honor it. If not, let him know that he needs to fix it or you can have it repaired by another shop and then sue him in small-claims court for the cost plus any rental fees due to negligence. But if he put the single-mass clutch in as you told him instead of the needed dual, then he has a leg to stand on against you. I would have gone to a different shop for a second opinion on this setup if this were an issue. Good luck!
