I'm not sure which country you are in but I remember a question like this in contract law. In these situations typically a policy officer is not going to get involved. Instead your friend's option it likely to pay something they can agree on and take the shop to small claims court. The judge will determine whether there was a contract in substance based on him releasing the car into the custody of a competent mechanic who would be expected to do what a reasonable person would due and discharge due care in the process.
