Mechanical liens are a type of lien that can be placed on a vehicle when repairs, or maintenance services have been performed but payment has not been made. It is also for unpaid storage at storage facilities, repair shops, tow yards or mechanics. In California, the DMV governs the process for enforcing these liens and conducting lien sales. The lien gives the repair shop or storage facility the legal right to retain possession of the vehicle until payment is made or to sell the vehicle to recoup the costs of the unpaid services.
In California, the process for enforcing a mechanical lien involves giving notice to the owner of the vehicle and any other interested parties, such as lienholders or insurance companies. The notice must include information about the lien, the amount owed, and the deadline for payment. If payment is not made by the deadline, the repair shop may sell the vehicle through a lien sale. The proceeds of the sale are used to pay off the amount owed to the repair shop, and any remaining funds are returned to the owner of the vehicle.
Overall, understanding the process for enforcing a mechanical lien in California is important for both repair shops and vehicle owners. For repair shops, it ensures that they are able to recoup the costs of unpaid services. For vehicle owners, it serves as a reminder to pay for services in a timely manner to avoid the potential for a lien sale.
