Below is an excellent FAQ page detailing repossession laws. It mentions a repo man does not need a license to operate in Texas, but does in Florida. I imagine California requires licensing as well. The first thing to do if your car is repossessed is call your local police department and ask if your car was repossessed, they will have a listing of what cars were repossessed and if yours is on it, the police department will tell you who repossessed it (the dealer, bank, finance company, or private repossesser) and a phone number for contact.
For example, my car was repossessed this morning, I called the local police, and they confirmed the dealer had taken it. I am only a week and a half behind, but that's all it takes.

Generally the laws of the state where the contract was signed take precedence. I disagree. If the car is registered in California and titled in California, and located in California, California law applies. The validity of the debt, late fees, and so on ARE determined by where the contract was signed, but California has specific laws on the procedure for repossession.
Yes, I think it is. We have so many laws concerning things like that.

The legal remedy for vehicle repossession is covered by UCC laws. Regardless of where the lender is located the car can be repossessed under the laws of the state where it was purchased or where it is now located, whichever means is most advantageous to the lender.

It isn't relevant as both states allow repossession of a vehicle under UCC laws (without a breach of peace).
In the state of Ohio, your car may be repossessed if you miss one payment. Your car may be taken any time of the day or night by the repossession company. The repossession company is not allowed to keep any items that you may have left in the car. The company must inform you as to what they are going to do with the car, including selling it, putting it in a car auction, or keeping it.
