I would have been looking for a new mechanic after the $530 repair fell through, but now that you're were you are..
When a professional performs any kind of service, they are required to perform it with "due care and skill", so if you can show that further damage was cause due to poorly performed work done by the mechanic, then you probably have grounds to claim compensation. If however, the mechanic just made poor decisions about what needed fixing, and replaced things that didn't need replacing, you generally won't have much to go on.
Talk to consumer affairs, they will advise you of your statutory rights and what steps you can take from here.
