Recently had some engine work done by a friend who is a certified auto mechanic. No verbal or written contracts or guarantees were done before work started. After he completed work, payment was made to mechanic. After 2 days, engine work failed causing extreme damage to engine internals. After checking engine and speaking to other qualified mechanics and engine builders, there was an important step in the service manual he DID NOT follow, which most likely caused the failure. After asking him if he did this procedure, he admitted that it was not done. Informal resolutions have failed as far as any kind of refund. My question is if I have any legal recourse to recoup some of my money lost. All I want is the labor I paid him plus the parts that he installed that were destroyed. Since no contracts or guarantees were made, I have a feeling that I'm stuck with this problem.
