James is spot on. If you trust the mechanic, talk to him and see what he's willing to work out. If you both come to a mutual agreement, great. If not, it's time to walk away and go somewhere else.

Why? Well, you don't have a leg to stand on because you didn't ask for and get a guarantee. And without a guarantee, you're relationship with the mechanic is simply 'reasonable efforts," i.e, did the mechanics carry out his work as would similar mechanics would elsewhere. Nothing you say in your post suggests that the mechanic's work fell below that standard and was negligent. As such, don't have a right to demand money back or future price concessions.
