What should I do?

I understand you don't want to cause hassle but you have the right to get your car back and if he's not responding to any attempts to communicate what else are you supposed to do.

Some options for establishing contact:
- call him from someone else's phone, so he doesn't recognise your number and is more likely to pick up
- write a letter (possibly recorded) explaining that you need him to explain the current state of dissassembly of your car, whether or not he's capable of fixing it, and when
- go there during business hours and talk to him in person

It's not clear to me why you had the car moved from the first garage to the second ?
Anyway with the benefit of hindsight, if I were you I'd be trying to get the second guy to put it back together, fixed or not, pay him for whatever he's done, and get it taken back to the first garage to check and hopefully fix. This however may not be easy if your car's in pieces and/or the person who has it isn't co-operating.

The garage who have you car could just be very busy/disorganised/short-handed, or it may be that fixing your car is 'difficult' and they're putting it off, or they outright don't know how to fix it.

In terms of which forum, I don't think there's anything wrong with posting here, equally I think you would be justified in posting in General Gassing, where more people will see it, since there's nothing specifically technical about the car yet, just a car that's gone to a garage with a common problem.

Good luck getting it sorted!
