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.

That is the only way you can repossess a vehicle.

What if car is impounded but all payment are current?

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.
