With general car maintenance, if the mechanic didn't really fix or resolve the issue you had in the first place with you car, it's probably best to go back and ask them about that. Remind the mechanic from the written estimate of what was approved, what was agreed upon, what you paid for and then point out that those things were not addressed. If you get pushed back or have resistance from the mechanic, it might be time to take it to the local Chamber of Commerce or Better Business Bureau. This will make sure that there is some resolution and will put some pressure on the mechanic to do the right thing before it turns into a legal or a lawsuit.
