Another Lying Mechanic

so, if you read my thread "knocking and shaking" you will see i had some axle problems. Well i took my car to the shop on Friday at 1pm. By the end of the day all of their mechanics had driven it and thought it was axle related. On saturday he tried to explain the problem to me, something needed balanced. He said he had to wait til monday to speak to a toyota tech for more info.Monday i called at lunch and he said the part would be in tuesday morning and it would be ready by noon and cost around $200 (a whole new axle i think)

So here is where the problem occurs

On my way home from work at 1128pm, i had to stop by my moms house and pick up my little brother which is located about 10 mins away from my house (the shop is 2 blocks from my house). While sitting at a red light at 1128 i see my unmistakeable yaris pass by the intersection im sitting at. The same yaris that wont be able to be fixed til tuesday morning and has a shaky and very loud raggedy axle.

I WAS PISSED

i stop by the shop 10 mins later and see water trails leading up to my car (showing it had just returned) and now my car is parked outside instead of in the bay where i last saw it. I reach inside of it with my spare key and see that the radio is turned up pretty loud ( i always turn my volume down to 5 when i get out).

So this guy has been cruising in my broke down yaris instead of fixing it. Same thing happened to my friends 05 mustang he had a lot of work done when he took it to a different guy. in his situation the guy installing audio into his car was letting his wife drive it as her daily

What Is Going Through These People's Minds?

what should i do? ask for discount? report them? Help me out here.
