Tennessee law does not require written estimates on auto repairs and does not require a business to adhere to any given estimate.
If an auto repairman charges more than he said the job would cost, do I have to pay even though I didn't authorize the work?
Yes. There are no specific laws on estimates in Tennessee.
Can he hold my car until I pay?
Yes. Additionally, after notifying you that your car is ready, either orally or in writing, they can charge you a daily storage fee of up to $10.
That's majorly fucked too, some repair shop can just charge you 2x more, and there is nothing you can do :-/
