A lot depends on where you are located. Chicago (I think it's municipal) requires a written estimate. Various cities and states may have other requirements.
Next, you are dealing with breach of contract -- the contract is either part of the estimate/work order/receipt or it is oral, or it is quantum meruit (figure that's fair value for services) or whatever.
Contract law varies a little from state-to-state.
Also there might be different rules if it was a sale of goods (parts) rather than mostly services.
Fastest action -- you might be right about calling the credit card company, if it's a legitimate claim. Consider Anders remarks in this regard. If you're right, or it's arguable, you'll get attention (but maybe not your car back right away). If you're wrong, then you could get sued.
Lawsuits are not an immediate solution. They take a long time to get to the end, because there are rules that have to be followed and everyone has to have a chance to put together their own side of the case and find out what the other side has to support their side of the case. I've seen it from both sides in various cases as a lawyer, a customer and a mechanic.
