The lien has no value, only the car. The mechanics lien allows the shop to keep possession of a vehicle until the bill is payed in full.

If the vehicle isn't reported stolen, they can have a title made out that transfers the full ownership to them. They can then sell the vehicle to recoup their losses.

Can you sell a vehicle with a lien on the title?

Legally No. How can you sell something you do not own. As long as there is a lien, you do not own the vehicle outright. Go see the lender and get a lien release, if you no longer have a loan on the vehicle. Remember the lender is part owner of the vehicle until you make that last payment. If you clear the lien buy using the proceeds from the sale, you can guarantee a title within 30 days (required by law) to the new buyer. The lien holder will then release the title.
