Probably. If you took the car to the mechanic and the mechanic did work on it, in many jusrisdictions that automatically creates what's called a "mechanics' lien". There's usually no special contract that must be signed in order for this to happen.

What are your rights if a mechanic lien is filed?

If the mechanic's lien is legitimate, the rights lean in the mechanic's favor. The person who recorded the lien has a certain period set by state law to perfect the lien by a civil suit. During the pendency of the lien the property cannot be sold or financed. If the lien is pursued in civil court the mechanic may obtain a judgment lien that will encumber the property until it is paid or expires under state law.

What can liens can be filed in Ohio for non payment of cleaning services provided?

The answer depends on whether you have filed a lawsuit and won on the debt yet or whether the work you performed in cleaning was in connection with the performance of a construction contract. If you already have a judgment, you may file a judgment lien. If you performed the work in connection with the completion of a construction contract, you will have mechanic's lien rights. If the work is just regular maintenance or office type cleaning, a mechanic's lien is not available. If you have a judgment and the person that you have the judgment against owns real property you can file the judgment lien against the real property they own, whether or not it is the property that you improved. This is not true with a mechanic's lien, you can only lien the property you worked on. I have attached some articles that I have written for the Builders Exchange Magazine on Mechanic's liens that you may find helpful.

If you have the title to your car can someone put a lien on it?

Yes, if you left it for repairs in a shop and did not pay for repairs, they can put a mechanics lien on it, also if your car was towed and you did not take it out of storage they can put a storage lien on it. Sometimes even when you finance a car if they accidentally forget to add a lien and you receive the title, they can still add the lien with the contract or agreement they have signed by you.
