Yes and no. A writ of replevin is a court order to surrender a vehicle. Anyone who interferes with such can be arrested and held in contempt of court. This includes you, or any third party in possession of the vehicle. The mechanic's lien is a matter between you and the mechanic. If the repossessed vehicle is sold, and the proceeds exceed the amount of the original remaining loan balance, then any remaining money from the sale must be paid to the mechanic to satisfy his lien.
