Need advice on the situation

Hey there guys, I need your guys advice on the current situation

OK guys, so here is the new situation, called the mech today and he said that the head rebuilders place is only willing to pay $250 for the test of the head and here are the options the mech gave us:

1. Pay $1700 to get car back with no head and just the engine block
2. Sign the car over to the mech
3. Put the $250 from the head rebuilder place towards a new head

Right now I’m so frustrated that my only option is that I’m taking it to Small Claims Court.
What do you guys think? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I would only pay for the cost to replace the head gasket times one. I would not pay for the labor or services of the machine shop. I would not pay the mechanic for the labor of removing the head the second time. I would request that the mechanic and or machine shop fit the bill for the new head since it sounds like either the mechanic or the machine shop damaged the head. If not, I would go to court since he is trying to hold your car hostage.
