Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

I had my car fixed yesterday. The shop assured me they discovered the problem and charged me $400. Three hours later the car had to be towed for same problem. Now they say its something else and want another $400. Do I have to pay?

These types of cases are very difficult to pursue. Auto repair shops are guilty of significant negligence and incompetence. The mechanics are usually ill qualified to do the work. The problem all of us have, and I have recentlly had this problem, is how do you prove a new problem did not occur? Moreover, the expense to hire an expert to challenge the repair shop wil be more than the cost of repair.

The only suggestion I have in the furture is to have 3 body shops look at the problem and if 2 agree, you are probably safe.
