[QUOTE="jay, post: 2369953, member: 215009"] I took my car to this mechanic because I was getting no pressure to the clutch pedal (which I had taken it to a number of shops previously and they did work that still didn't fix the problem) and he kept it for a week then said he needed money to get the master and slave cylinders, $430. Then after another 2 weeks of not hearing from him and no one ever being at the shop he finally calls and said he needs another $250 for a shaft he says is broken that connects to the clutch. I have the actual service manual for the car now and I even talked to the parts guy at the dealership, the master and slave cylinders are only $250 for both and they don't even know what shaft he's talking about since its a concentric slave cylinder that's in the bellhousing and that alone disengages the clutch. I don't even see what he's talking about in the manual and it shows a piece by piece breakdown. I also have stuff in my car I need to get out but can't since he is never therewhich led e to ask when did he even have time to break it down and see what's in there. I go by the shop almost everyday. What can I do. At this point I just want my $430 back and my car. I'm thinking he doesn't even have the shop anymore. When he wants me to give him money I always have to meet him somewhere and a guy that was by there one day said he can't remember the last time he say him there. Its a 07 eclipse spyder gt 6spd [/QUOTE]
