revving really high but not catching is your clutch going bad/already toast. This just happened to my 97 boxster, new clutch=$400. process to replace is possible to DIY if you have the right tools, as you need to remove the trans to replace it. a shop will most likely charge between 4-600 in labor to replace it (at least that's how much they charge in my town).

when you are trying to drive it, can you smell what smells like brakes burning? if yes, then your clutch is toasted.

on a side note, does your son know how to drive a stick? and were your tires wore down at all when you got the car back? haha sounds like he was riding/popping the clutch.
