My ride and its problems

Well im new here and to me,i have a major problem. I was in a car accident back in june and i took my car into the shop july 5th. too see pics of the damage please visit my car domain page since i dont kno how to post posts on here yet. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/686400/5 . As you can see the damage isnt that bad but here is my problem. the guy thats working on my car is in my mind ripping me off. he told me the car woud take a few weeks and i understood that cas he had other work. but 3 weeks has turned into 6 weeks... He told me face to face that i would my car in late july...and i never got it..then he told my dad i would have it this week and well... today we found out he didnt even start to paint it. Can i do anything about this??????????? We already paid him 4 weeks ago...so my dad says we cant make him like refund us any of the money. He is just taking way too long and i wish i would of went to a different shop, its ruining my summer. any feedback is welcomed.

p.s i think i uploaded a pic..

cas = 'cause, right? i didn't understand that the first few times i read your posts.

anyways, seriously. if he has you so pissed off then report him to the BBB. that'll either get him to speed up the progress on your car or fuck your car up even more. that's when you sue.
