Rip off mechanic in Centurion

The owner of The Motor Guru gave a verbal quote of between R25 000 and R27 000 to fix a head gasket issue on my Nissan Pathfinder. I asked for a written quote for three weeks and never got one. The final invoice was R55 000. As a mechanic he would know that a reconditioned or second hand motor would have cost half that. I heard from another fellow later, he did the same to him. He charged R600 for diesel but the car is empty. The battery was almost new but he is charging for a new one. The turbo was checked as being perfect 2 weeks before it went to him and yet he is charging R9000 for repairs to it.
