If the mechanic was unable to diagnose the problem, the fair thing to have done would be to cut you loose without a charge. If he came up with a diagnosis, but you were unwilling to have the work done, the effort he expended should be on your nickel. It costs $ to keep the lights on and the rent paid, and every minute spent working has to pay for those if value is given -- and a diagnosis is of value.

If they spent their time diagnosing it, even if they didn't fix it; they have a right and a resposibility to charge you for their time. They can't be expected to work for free anymore than anyone else and their pay is based on this. They would go under in a hurry if they didn't charge you. It doesn't seem fair, but I'm expected to charge a customer the moment I walk in the door too.
