Mechanic Flirted With Me And Asked Me Out; I Rejected Him And Now He Is Holding My Car Hostage

Card image cap

Exactly what title says. I called a mechanic in my area to fix my car. He tried to ask me over text if I am single, I promptly rejected him, informing him that our relationship is strictly professional. Now he keeps changing what he is saying about the car to confuse me. Changing the price of the service, surcharging me even though he cant do anything about it. (from 200 to fix the starter to now 750+. When asked why he cannot even give definitive answers. He says he cannot fix the car but this is the "labor price" .. labor for what if he says he cannot fix the car). I have asked for updates pictures etc no answer and when he does pick up he seems drunk and texts in a very unprofessional manner, bad grammar, calling me honey, asking if he scaring me away, asking me repetitively if I am single etc instead of simply fixing the damn car. He now refuses to fix my vehicle and is saying if I don t pay him 700 he will be keeping my car. This feels like retaliation for rejecting him? I am unsure of what is going on or what to do.
