...ring mechanic on monday, saying he has to collect car at his expense as the repairs were ineffectual or incompetant as the car does't start and considing he's been paid, you expect the work to be re-done so the car runs as advised earlier. If you paid by credit card, ring up the bank and stop the transaction - saying the service rendered is in dispute.
give him a deadline of 48 hrs to respond - do not flag your intentions about the bank - or whom you will contact...
i'd suggest that you have a few options:
A- demand he fix it and return the mising tools
B- police advised that tools stolen by garage owner
C-contact department of fair trading (they're a piss weak lot, but it's a start)
or... and this is my favourite...
turn up with several beefy mates, get them to park cars across the entrance to the workshop and remain in vehicles until police ask them to move on, have a pair of these clearly visible in each car (but do not pick them up):

you then go an negiatote the return of tools and repair of engine...
