What is a Mechanic’s or Storage Lien?
Under California Civil Code:
- Vehicles valued at less than $4,000 follow Civil Code §3072
- Vehicles over $4,000 or held for storage follow Civil Code §3071
In both cases, the lienholder (you) is entitled to reimbursement via public sale, provided the correct DMV process is followed.
