Why Mechanics Liens Are Not the Best Way to Get a Car Title 🚗⚠️|CarTitles.com

6 days ago

For years, a mechanic's lien was a way for auto shops to get paid when a customer didn't pick up their vehicle. But today, it’s one of the worst ways to secure a car title. Why? Because the process has been abused by shops and even individuals trying to title cars they didn't work on—leading to tighter restrictions. 🛑

In the past, mechanics could use a lien to recover costs for repairs, but now it's heavily scrutinized. States require detailed paperwork, auctions, and months of waiting, making it a long and expensive process. The title might even get rejected! Even legitimate shops face audits, especially if they submit too many liens. 📉

Here’s the issue: a recent case involved a shop spending months and thousands of dollars on a lien, only to have it rejected twice due to errors and audits. The process isn’t just complicated; it's often not worth it compared to other methods like court order titles. 🏛️

Bottom line: If you’re thinking about using a mechanic’s lien to get a title, think twice. It's more hassle than it’s worth! There are better, faster, and cheaper ways to title a vehicle. 🕒
