exactly so if it doesnt comply to that act, dont pay em, if you get quotes from other body shops to do similar work, if it went to court they would bummed on this very act

pay by check, u could always cancel it straight away, if you pay cash he is getting more out it as he can pocket as much as he likes without putting it through the books

As has been suggested. pay by cheque if they are unwilling to move on price.
then cancel the cheque straight away.
Bodyshops can be intimidating places imo
