Misrepresentation by a seller or provider of a service is covered under the Consumer Protection Act, 2002. If you can show that a repairer has misled you, the act gives you a legal basis for writing to the shop and demanding your money back.
This is called a letter of rescission, and it should, if possible, identify the section of the act you are using as the basis for your complaint. You can do this at any time up to one year after the agreement was entered into.
It's not being replaced or linked with totally. It is still hitting pretty hard in some parts of the country. I don't think its use will be decreasing any time soon. It'll probably stay the same, and then "like totally" will start being "the" words to use. Who knows? It's all the same obnoxious and contagious expression.
