In most cases of jammed tapes you have no choice but to remove the head unit, dismantle to expose tape mechanism and unjam. The DIN tools for removal from dash are available at Wal-Mart and other stores, although some owners successfully use bent coat hangers.

Sorry, no easy solution on this one.

If you paid to have it fixed before, why just not ditch it and get someting new. Anything new will come with a warranty. Will cost less than having it repaired I imagine. Also, look in the classifieds to see if there is a tape deck for sale, may be better to replace yours.
