First of all, this has nothing to do with intellectual property. In posting to patent and trademark lawyers, most lawyers on Law Guru who handle consumer matters will never see this post.

No one EVER pays car mechanics in advance, so you dealt with a criminal. And no one EVER should do a car repair without a written work order.

You probably can sue him in Magistrates (Small Claims) Court, but criminals rarely have any assets for you to recover from, so you may or may not ever see any money.
