Don't know the law where you are, but if you do that where I live the mechanic can put a lien on your car, boat or whatever.....and repossess it until you pay. Would have to fight it in court.....it is a racket designed to protect the shop.
He can "make it right" if he wants to.....hope he does for your sake. A full refund would be the best you could hope for.

Good idea.....and get a factory manual. Ebay usually has them.....
