• California DMV Title Experts • Auto Lien Vehicle Registration • CA Vehicle Dispute & Small Claims Licensed & Bonded - CA DMV Registration #44502

As a licensed California DMV Business Partner (BPA), Lienworks, Inc. provides high-value title resolution and legal document processing. For 20+ years, we have served as the technical bridge between the DMV and California’s automotive industries. Our staff includes Certified Auto Brokers, Licensed VIN Verifiers, Paralegals, Notary Publics & skilled Title Clerks, ensuring every submission meets the strict compliance standards of the California Vehicle Code.

 

Title Acquisition & Recovery: We specialize in the Official CA DMV Diligent Effort Process—a legal path to title recovery when the original ownership documents are lost or the previous owner is unresponsive. Whether you hold only a Bill of Sale or are managing a Private Party Sale with missing paperwork, we execute the required outreach, secure Motor Vehicle Ownership Surety Bonds (REG 5057), and navigate the Diligent Effort (Section 23.010) requirements to establish your legal ownership without DMV rejections.

 

Professional Auto Lien Sales & Dispute Resolution: Lienworks automates the Mechanics Lien Process (CC §3068) for tow yards, licensed repair shops (ARD), and storage facilities. We clear abandoned vehicle titles and recover unpaid storage costs through fast-track processing. Additionally, we provide Small Claims Document Preparation & Legal Filing (SC-100) for vehicle disputes in Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Diego, helping clients recover up to $12,500 for dealer fraud or breach of contract.
