yea if you don't laugh you'll cry.
Imagine the look of surprise on my face
It's always the good-natured people that get taken advantage of. Sorry dude. That sucks.
For those of us who've been around a while, we've seen this scenario over and over through our lives, which is why we suggested not doing it.
Good luck with trying to at least break even. I'm not so sure I wouldn't pull the transmission back out of it and put the old one back in. LOL

Yep. I’d say tough shit buddy, pay up or I’m taking MY transmission back out and you can have your truck back. Your trans will be in the bed.

Leave the keys in the car in a busy area and let it get stolen.
Whoops.
Whoops.
at a minimum I would tell them they need to pay the remaining balance of the things you actually bought and then accept you'll probably be eating the labor
Have you completed the work?Update:
I did the work and dude gave me 2 checks one to get started and one when I am finished. Now the last check has insufficient funds. Dude is asking for his vehicle back yet I have not gotten paid.FML

Absolutely. Also verified the repair, and did extra like reattached an exhaust tail pipe that fell off.
Well this should go without saying but what does said guy say about insufficient funds?
It's always possible something unforseen came up and the funds in his account can't quite cover it.
Maybe he'll say, oh crap, let me move some money around and then you can go cash the check.
It's the nuclear option but if he doesn't pay you could always call the cops and get him charged for writing bad checks.
Unsure exactly how your state works. Since you’re not technically a certified mechanic you can’t necessarily put a mechanics lien on it I don’t think. However if you agreed to do the job and it’s in some sort of written paper, or text message it could help. Otherwise If it’s word of mouth you’re probably on the short end of the stick. I would tell him the job is complete and you want the money owed to you.
No good deed goes unpunished.
I learnt the hard way and almost went to jail. Nevah again.
You bettah call a priest cause you’re gonna end up married to that Chevy.

Hmmm, maybe sounds like you can't locate the keys?
Let them know once they pay you, you'll have a locksmith come out and cut a new key and program a new remote.

Remove a fuse that messes up with starting the car, something simple. Tell him you can fix it but need money to get the "parts" to do it.
Dont get paid, cant move car. Everyone pretty much warned ya. Wait till he gets the car back and complains that something is off.

A few years ago I did some suspension work on a C3 Vette for a coworker. I ended up with a few extra bucks afterwards, but for a while I got the "the car is doing this now" questions. I left the company and two years later he randomly texted me to tell me the rear main was leaking. My response was "that sucks". Apparently he thought I messed with it and was going to fix it. I told him I never touched it, then blocked his number.
Never again.
Never again.
I'd give them the opportunity to make it right (get you the money you're owed)
If they can't or won't it's up to you how you wish to escalate the situation.
