It depends. If the repo was after you filed, and the lender did not obtain relief from stay to repo, you file a motion to hold the lender and the repo entity in contempt of the automatic stay, and ask for an order that the lender return the vehicle. If the lender did get relief from stay, you cannot do anything. If you are representing yourself, as the saying goes, you have a fool for a client. If you have a lawyer, why aren't you asking him/her?

How soon can a car be repoed after filing chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Because of the "automatic stay", which goes into affect as soon as a Bankruptcy is filed, your car cannot be re-possessed while the Bankruptcy is in progress (unless the creditor files a motion with the court asking for relief from the automatic stay). However, as soon as the Bankruptcy is discharged or closed - which occurs approximately 6 months after it is filed - the car can be re-possessed.
