yes they can. Unless by prior arrangement for credit a mechanic is well within there rights to hold your car until payment for work is made in full. They are legelly obliged to keep it safe and undamaged but are also allowed to charge storeage after a specified time. This would be by letting you know by what date it must be collected and paid for before you accrue storage charges.
