YES, IF YOU OWE THEM MONEY, THEY CAN HOLD AND CHARGE STORAGE.

Also check your state laws,because in many states a garage can place a mechanics lean on your vehicle and after 30-90 days they can sell your vehicle at auction or a set price to cover the cost of the repairs.....

Can a company take possession of your vehicle if it is on private property?

AnswerYes, as long as it is not inside a garage or building that is either locked or unlocked. The other exception is the repossession agency may not commit a breach of peace as defined by state law while recovering a vehicle.. Also the repossession agency is not allowed to cause property damage in order to take possession of the vehicle,such as if the vehicle has a chain/cable wrapped around the rear axle secured to a pole with a padlock..They can not cut the chain/cable or the padlock because doing so is malicious destruction of property....

A co-owned vehicle can be taken into possession by either owner at anytime they wish...If the co-owner has a key to the vehicle then they can legally get in and drive the vehicle...If the co-owner does not have a key then they must have a copy of the certificate of title,the registration or other proof of ownership and then the vehicle can be towed.
