Re: car repairs
You arrange to have your car repaired at a reputable shop, and have them arrange the tow from where it's at to their shop. Then you go to where your car presently is and tell them to cease any work, place the parts in the trunk, and be prepared to pay for whatever work they've done to date.
Pay by credit card or check. No cash. Make sure your car is picked up and towed to the new shop.
You can then sue them for the difference in price between what they quoted and what it cost to repair, plus excess charges for unauthorized work. That suit will be in Small Claims.
