How to sue my mechanic I work that I have paid for has not been done?

My car was supposed to be fixed but 6 months later still not.  Additionally, I have paid the mechanic $1200 ($600 for labor; $600 for the part), but no refund.

It sounds like you have a breach of contract issue with your mechanic: you entered in to a contract to fix your car for whatever was wrong with it (I am sure based upon his mechanical expertise and evaluation) and you gave him money for the repair but he did not repair it (hence the breach).  But let me make sure that I understand: did he attempt to repair it but just never got it right or did it again break after he did repair it (the latter being a warranty issue)?  Whichever you still will sue him probably in small claims court. Make sure that you have all your proof ready.  Good luck.
