In most states a shop can put a mechanic's lien on the vehicle whether you are still paying the note or not. This means that you cannot sell the vehicle until you clear the lien.
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.
Could be a mechanics lien.
NO. The repair shop has a lien also. Pay the bill.

A lien on a car title most typically means that money is still owed on the car. When a person takes out a loan on a car a lien is put on the title until the full repayment of the loan.
how to find out if ther is any debt owed on a car being bought from a mechanic shop that obtained the car through a mechanics lien
You cannot sell a car you have a loan on if the lender has a lien on the vehicle. You will need permission from the lien holder to sell the car. If the lender has no lien on the vehicle then you can sell it if you wish. The title will list any lien holder.
It will be interesting to see if the judge can give the car to someone free and clear even tho there is a lien. The judge probably can not give the car away and ignore the lien. Still, it could depend on the identity of the lien holder. Other than that slim possibility, the lien may still be a factor.
