You only get the car back if you file for Chapter 13 before the bank auctions off the vehicle. If you file for Chapter 13 before the auction, the bank should turn over the property right away. If the bank won't cooperate, you may need to file a formal motion with the bankruptcy judge for a turnover order. The time to have the motion heard will depencd on the Court's workload, perhaps 4-6 weeks.
