Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

good faith dispute
I stopped payment on a check to an auto repair shop because they assured me the $800.00 worth of work they did would fix the hot start problem I was having. I wasn't till after I picked up the vehicle that I discover the problem wasn't fixed. I made several attempts with both managers and the vice president to resolve the matter with no luck. My vehicle broke down a week later. I had it fixed at another shop because I lost trust in this shop. On my last attempt to resolve matter they informed me that they have no intentions of resolving the matter because the ''payment guarantee company'' they use paid them. I was contacted by the ''payment guarantee company'' and I disputed the claim. They said they were not a collection agency. Do they have a legal claim to this matter? And if so how do they. I was their choice to pay without investigating the situatuin? Can they sue me? And if so how does that work if I'm in Florida and the ''payment guarantee company'' is in California? I have always been will to compromise and pay for parts that had been put on, tbat not fix problem, but not labor charges but no one seems willing to do that.

No, they are subject to all defenses you have against the repair shop.
