1) Who can file a mechanic lien?

Anyone in the state of Texas in possession of a vehicle they have been asked to work on and have not been paid for 30 days since the work was completed.

2) How do I file a mechanic lien?

If you have access to a FAX machine you can FAX us a copy of your Repair Order. Our FAX number is 512-352-7154. Be sure the following information is shown on your invoice:

After you have FAXed all the above information to us, call on our “800” number to be sure we received your FAX. If you wish to email the above information you may do so. If no email or FAX is available you may call and give the information to us at 800-352-2788.

3) What do I do if my customer comes to retrieve their vehicle after I have filed my mechanic lien?

They may pick up the vehicle within the next 30 days of the lien filing provided they pay you the total amount owed plus our fee. Additional charges may be assessed for storage if you have a sign posted stating that you charge storage on all vehicles left after work is completed. Your sign must also show the daily storage fee. Your customer must pay all fees due at the time the vehicle is picked up. No partial payment may be accepted as it would invalidate the mechanic lien already in process.

4) What are the fees for your service and when are they due?

Our current fee for a Texas titled vehicle is $100.00. If the vehicle is titled in another state the fee is $125.00. Our charges are due when the paperwork to sell the vehicle is delivered to you or prior to the mailing of that paperwork to you.

5) If work on a vehicle has not been approved by my customer but I have worked to determine what was wrong with the vehicle; can I file a mechanic lien?

Yes, the repair order should show labor charges for the time required determining the repairs needed.
