I think this is a situation that the BBB needs to be aware of. Even if a business is not a member of the BBB, if they receive a complaint they will intiate a file for the business. If they are a member of the BBB they have agreed to have disputes such as this settled by an independant arbitrator. I would contact the BBB and find out if they are a member.

Hey Mr.Toftum your article didn't say who this shop was, how about letting the rest of us in on it......
(Editor's note: As a matter of policy, The World does not publish consumer complaints against specific businesses. Because we are not equipped to investigate and resolve such complaints, publishing them would be unfair to businesses that might be wrongly accused.)

I suppose they will not let you say who this backyard mechanic is?
Were your spark plugs rusted in?
Did you get the quote in writing?
Write them a check for the $407 & cancel it the second you drive off the lot with your vehicle & then have one for a $150 already mailed to them.
They should have stopped & told you it is going to take longer than expected. Set an agreed hourly rate to do the work. Or hand it back & charge you nothing if it was not ok with you.
How much did the dealer want for the work?
If it was mine I would squash the guy like a grape & drop $150 on him as I drove off.
If you need my services I am available for $500. LOL
