Dr. Sosa, the Doc didn't fix our car, lost our money, wrecked it & ran tolls during a drive test & didn't compensate me for any of it

In October our only vehicle broke down. Our nieghbor refered us to a mechanic, Miguel D. Vasquez. He came to our house to run a diagnostics on our car to find out what the problem was. It was the Timing chain. According to his estimates it was gonna cost the same to replace the whole engine as it was to fix the timing chain. So, we decided to replace the whole engine. He told us that we were getting an engine that only had 48,000 miles on it for 950.00 dollars, plus 50.00 dollars for lube & stuff like that, & labor for 300.00. He told us he needed the engine money first. We gave it to him & he came to tow the car the next day. He also told us it would only take 3 days to fix. The first engine came in. He installed it and brought it back to us. The next day it the timing chain broke while we were driving it. We called him to tow our car back to his shop. I left it parked at a friends. About a week went by & he hadn't picked it up. We called him & told him if he didn't come to get the car my friend was gonna have it towed. So, he finally came. Another week later he gets another engine, but it was to a different car. Another week late he gets another engine. He said he took the engine apart to fix something that was wrong with it. After installing it he brings the car back. The next day the timing chain breaks again. He comes & gets it. Fixes the timing chain & brings it to us again. The next day the timing chain broke again. Each time he was bringing our car something else was wrong with. The a/c stopped working & it made noises. He took the car again because we had a six month warranty with him. This time we waited almost 1 month for another engine. He finally confessed that the distibuter he was getting the engines from refused to give him another one because he messed with the engine. They wouldn't give him the money back either, they kept it as store credit. Miguel also told us that since that happened, he used our money that was kept as store credit to buy a lady an engine. She was a customer of his & was short on cash for her engine, so he gave her our money. He had no money for another engine! He said he was trying to come up with 500.00 dollars to buy us an engine he saw on the side of a road. It was another car like ours. He bought that engine & put it in our car. He brought us the car. The next day the engine worked but our transmission went out and there was damage done to our back taillight and back fender. He lied to us & said it was the other persons fault. Our a/c didn't work either. We asked him to fix everything but he wanted us to pay him 600.00 for another transmission & 300.00 for labor. The transmission he was selling us he got as deal with the engine for 500.00. That same week we get a citation notice for running tolls. We had to pay them. The tolls took place right before the accident. I have copies of all reciepts he ever gave me & copy of the police report, which states he is at fault, & a copy of the toll fines. When I confronted him with all my evidence, he said he would only the damages done to our car by the accident if we paid him 900.00 dollars to fix the transmission. We didn't want him trying to fix anything on our car anymore, so the car is sitting in our parking lot brokedown still with all the damages still there. He offers no cash compensation either. And the engine in our car, noone has any way of knowing how many miles is on it!
