What do I do about getting my car repaired?

My engine went out on my 99 Buick Park Ave. I called my mechanic friend. He instructed me to drop the car off to him and he would replace the engine. I did that. I even paid him for the job. That was on 12/22/07. Last month, he finally took out my engine, but has done nothing since. My new engine is out and uncovered in his backyard, and my car is out sitting, hoodless, in nothing but mud. I went to other mechanics and they all say that they won’t touch it because he has already took my blown engine out, and that they can’t know that all of the parts are there. How do I go about getting my car fixed? Can I hold him legally accountable for my repairs? If so, how do I go about filing suit?

    Next time deal with a real repair shop.
    Go to your County Court House and file a small claims suit.

    You need to talk to a lawyer. You shouldn’t have paid him first since he never finished the job & you should never mix business with friendship. Next time, take your car to a real mechanic.
