Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Utah

I have an older car that I took to a dealership to have some work done. I made a point of saying I had limited funds to fix the car and was not going to go over $1,000 and to make sure they talked to me first to let me know what was wrong and to discuss how to best handle it. It started out great and I thought we were within the numbers I requested but once they were done the bill went up to almost $2700.00. I refused to pay that because I simply didn't have it and I was very clear with them not to go over $1,000. They are telling me they won't give my car back until I pay up and I'm fearful to give them anything because I have no trust with them now. Can they keep my car? This has been going on for almost 2 years now. I have tried to call and negotiate several times but they never call me back. They have left my car outside and it's not looking good.
