Only after the job is completed. If other than a authorized dealer or major repair shop, don't pay until you have taken a test drive in the repaired vehicle. establish this before the repair is started.
You generally pay for your service once the service is complete if it's a same day repair. If it's a long term repair in the case of a crash and your car finds its way to a body shop to be repaired then you may need to make installment payments along the way as parts are needed. The dealership / mechanic may also refuse to release your car back to you if you don't pay the full bill before taking the car home. I have heard of that happening.
The mechanic is to be paid after doing the job and when the car or whatever he replied is confirmed to be in perfect condition. Paying before the job may result to failure in doing job early or perfectly well.
The decision of when to pay the mechanic should be an agreement between the two of you. But it'd be advisable to pay the mechanic in bits. Half(or lesser) the amount before he does the job (just in case he needs to purchase some items for the work to be done) and the complete amount when he/she does the job.
I usually pay my mechanic when he is done with the job because I trust him as much as he trusts me and we've been working together for quite a while now.

When he/she does their job. Also if its a site visit, then I pay the visiting charges irrespective of the job being done or not.
