More on Mechanics' Lien Page

 MyLienHUB can help mechanics and motor vehicle repair shops save time and money when you need documents quickly prepared to claim your lien and process your title documents in Florida. 

  • Storage Charges – This places the burden of storage and safekeeping of the vehicle on the mechanic until payment can be made. Of course, mechanics are in the business of repairing vehicles and not storage, so the amount of space allocated to storing vehicles for customers can be quite limited, and therefore, storage charges should be incurred at a reasonable rate.
  • Get Paid or Get Title – MyLienHUB mechanic and motor vehicle repair shop lien process helps assure the auto repair business and the mechanic operating the business will receive compensation for their labor and services. The statute provides security for the mechanic and also relieves the customers of the need to pay a deposit in advance of any labor or services performed. This title procedure ensures mechanics can recover payment from non-paying customers through an expedited and enforceable legal procedure.
  • Statutory Lien Notice – The Florida mechanic or repair shop is entitled to charge the customer daily storage fees once the vehicle owner is properly notified by giving notice within 7 business days from the first date from which storage charges have accrued. When attempts to notify the customer and collect payment have proven to be unsuccessful, or in the event a vehicle is left unclaimed for too long and abandoned by the customer, the mechanic and auto repair business may enforce a statutory lien. The vehicle may then be sold at a public auction to recover any outstanding debts in order to satisfy the lien and recoup any losses attributable to a delinquent customer’s vehicle.
