Yes a Auto Mechanic can repo your car in Texas. Just call a Repo company, they will give you a form to fill out called "Letter of Authorization". You send the "letter of Authorization" form to the repo company along with a signed work order that Mr. Customer should of signed when they dropped off the vehicle approving you to work on there vehicle. I use the old school basic work orders to check a customer/vehicle in and have them sign it. I also made my own "Letter of Promise" forms that I have them fill out if I agree to give them a credit line (which I try to avoid), just for extra measure. Thats all there is to it. Then if they write you a insufficient check, or agree to "pay you later ;);), and fail to follow through,, just send the paper work to the repo company with a check (usually cost $250-$400 depending on geographical area and location of vehicle),, a good repo company will have the vehicle the next day. Then you charge the customer for the repo fee and add yourself some administration fees, pain and suffering fees, mental anguish fees, dont think i'm rich just because I own a business fees...you get the idea..plus what they owed on the bill or bad check. Most important thing... make every customer sign a work order.
Sure, you just lose the car.
NO! , he defenetely cannot do that. you at least have to be 3 months past due.
That is the only way you can repossess a vehicle. Repossession comes under the UCC which grants a lienholder the right to repossess but only if they have perfected their lien by filing it on the title. One caveate is in most states the lienholder can not repossess a vehicle that is under a mechanic's lien without first paying that lien.
No. The lienholder is the only entity with a right to repossess.
NO!
They are not going to repossess a vehicle because you were rude. They can however repossess it if you miss just one payment.
Yes, the finance company can repossess the car from the body shop. They would likely wait for the car to be fixed before they repossess the car.
As long as the bank is listed as the lienholder on the title and as long as you owe them money and haven't paid they can repossess the car.
A mechanic, or motor mechanic, or car mechanic.
You can take possession of it for an unpaid mechanic's lien, yes.
You still need to get the car out of impound. You have a limited time to do this before the impound lot puts a mechanic's lien on that vehicle. Once that happens, they'll be able to take possession of and sell your car, and you'll still be liable for the payments you owe to the finance company. If the finance company gets wind of this, they might repossess the car to avoid losing it over a mechanic's lien.
Not sure what you mean. If you are asking if you have a bill from a mechanic and don't pay it, can they repossess the car? Not without a court hearing. If you have a car that is held by a lien and the lien holder comes after the car while it is being worked on, the lien holder CAN and WILL take the car.
