This is how I do it and this is why my cars get done on time and on budget.
A contract with payments due at verifiable milestones. The 1st milestone to be achieved in 30 days. There after the milestones and time frame can be whatever you and the shop agree to.
Pay the initial deposit and all payments with a credit card. If they don't perform you yank the car and dispute charge with the CC company. You'll win every time. This way you are always in control because you control the cash.
