Anyone have any idea also about whether Im better off paying him to take the car (then taking him to court) so I get it out of his shop (avoid parts sitting longer,damage done by being their and just the pleasure to get it back) or should I wait it out and wait to go to court which would take 4-6 weeks they said.Now keep in mind that I have another car to drive so it is not a necessity especially with winter coming (of course I would be driving it all the time if i had it though )

Is their any way for me to just "take it back"?
Hi,

Contact your State Consumer Affairs division. Many States have departments especially for Auto Repair complaints as this is a Hot Button issue with Voters. Contact your State Senator, City Attorney, BBB, etc. Get the proper information before acting. Learn your options from the right places, not here where opinion rules the day. Good Luck!...

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
