Cenco Transmission

Original price quote was for $1200, but apparently other items needed to be changed as well, bringing price up an additional $570 after $50 discount. Work was completed 8 days later than quoted. Mechanic did not perform state inspection as requested. When another mechanic inspected the car, we noticed transmission fluid was leaking. I also noticed that the steering alignment was way off after this work, and car felt unstable when driving above 50 mph. Additionally, after about 1 month, I found 3 parking tickets for the car, totaling $175, due to mechanic parking the car on street - disregarding street cleaning and expired inspection sticker. Mechanic new that car's inspection was going to expire and was instructed to perform an inspection but did not. Tickets were thrown out by mechanic to hide fault. I am now trying to appeal tickets in courts, but success is unlikely as law states that mechanic is an agent of the owner and is therefore required to lookout for best interests of the owner. Clearly the mechanic is not looking out for me and I will need to go to small claims court to try to recoup the tickets costs.
