Did you owe him money? If you took your car to him and then didn't pay him, he can put a "mechanics lien" on your car. He can fill out paperwork with the State and get a duplicate title and then recoup his losses for fixing your car when he sells it. This often happens when a tow truck takes your car to his shop and then you never come pick it up. Or when it is wrecked and it is taken to a storage yard. You have to pay the wrecker company in order to get your car back. If you don't, after a period of time, your car is considered "abandoned" and the shop can sell it to get their money.
If on the other hand, you dropped your car off and he promptly sold it to his buddy and YOU DON'T OWE HIM ANY MONEY then contact the State DMV fraud division.

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.
