Can a person sue a mechanic if he sold a car without notice and without sending for the title?
If you owe the mechanic money and have not paid them they certainly can hold the car and I am sure by now you have heard from a creditor at least. If you make no attempt to pay off this debt then yes, the mechanic can sell this car, but you should have been notified. If you weren't then it's against the law! The title on the car can be gotten easily enough. If you have not paid off the bill and have never received noticed from a creditor or lawyer then this mechanic has stepped over the line. I suggest you see a lawyer about this if the car is fairly new.

As long as you have paid any bill he has no right to hold the car. If he wanted to go to the trouble he could call law enforcement and they could probably give you a ticket, but unless it is truly a danger to the public, I doubt they can keep you from driving it.

Can a lien on car you perchused full in cash but dealer has a lien on the car still be reposessed?
If you purchased the car in full with cash then there shouldn't be a lien. Look at your paperwork to make sure it says "Paid In Full" if it does the dealer has no right to repossess a paid in full vehicle. A lien is where you are making payments for a vehicle and the vehicle is being used a collateral until the vehicle is paid off.
Mechanic did not fix car right unsafe illegal repo without mechanic lean?
It is true that if the mechanical shop is holding the car because of non-payment of the repair, they would need to have filed a mechanic's lien on the vehicle in order to legally detain it. However: If your complaint is that the car was not fixed properly you shuold have taken the mechanic to small claims court, rather than just not paid him.
