What is cosmetic damage?
Damage that does not affect the drivability or safety of a vehicle. But have a trusted mechanic check it out first.
Is there a law against mechanic doing work on a car without your permission?
Yes, there is. That's why they are required to get your signature on their work orders BEFORE performing any work. The work order should also specify and limit the work to be performed. NEVER sign a blank work order, it's like signing a blank cheque. See a lawyer immediately and DO NOT pay the mechanic unless and until your lawyer says to. If the mechanic refuses to release your vehicle to you, involve the police. Performing work to your vehicle, without your permission is FRAUD.
How a auto mechanic charges labor?
To answer this question you have to assume that the auto shop is giving the customer a price quote and charges hourly rate based on that. There are manuals that give hour rates of how long it will take to repair a certain problem on a vehicle. When these times are conducted there are considerations; the vehicle is in relatively new condition (no rust), the mechanic has all needed special tools and parts on hand, no air assisted tools used. This procedure is conducted by a practiced skilled mechanic and the average time is recorded within the manual. Some things to consider is that some shops will combine labor for additional procedures, even though they might be related. After all the times are added up then it is multiplied by the hourly rate of that shop. Now if the shop charges the customer hour by hour of the time the mechanic worked on the vehicle then it will be logged by a time clock. Then this time will be multiplied by the hourly rate.

Mechanic did not fix car right unsafe illegal repo without mechanic lean?
It is true that if the mechanical shop is holding the car because of non-payment of the repair, they would need to have filed a mechanic's lien on the vehicle in order to legally detain it. However: If your complaint is that the car was not fixed properly you shuold have taken the mechanic to small claims court, rather than just not paid him.
