See, this is why you don't take your car to the dealership. Did you ask what was wrong? I think in this situation it would be good to call your credit card company, cancel payment, then take your car to an independent mechanic and have them assess the problems with your car. That way, you can get a written record of what mechanic A said was wrong versus what your dealership said. If mechanic A agrees with what your dealership said, then you need to get your car fixed somewhere other than the dealership. Your dealership was screwing with you- I'm pretty sure that unless you signed something that said "I authorize any and all work that needs to be done other than the thing I'm bringing the car in for" that your dealership couldn't do what they did.
