Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
i am an auto mechanic.a customer phoned me to tow and perform a diagnostic for an agreed price on his broken down car.he agreed to call the following day for an estimate of repair costs.he never called and when i called his contact number it was disconnected.that was over a week ago.i would like now to place a lien on the vehicle so i can sell it to cover the pending costs.(the repair cost is far greater than the cars value)ive never done this before which led me to"find legal forms.com" as a simple solution to do this on line for a small fee but im unsure if this is all i need...California Mechanic's Lien (aka Supplier's Lien)
A filing that allows contractors, mechanics, laborers, etc. to place against property that they have improved for use in California.can you advise me as that being what i need?

Legal forms dot com (the site you mentioned) is a more generalized site where one company tries to get forms for every state. sometimes they are good, sometimes not. However, California in particular has a set of forms for just about everything. Go to google.com and put in California Judicial Council Forms and see fi they have a form tht will fit your situation. If not, call me and I can help you.You can call me at the number listed on my bio at this web site or you can call me anytime, including this weekend, if you wish, at this number nine one five two six one three eight nine three
Jack is correct that California has specific laws regarding mechanic lien's and lien sales. Many businesses use a service, that has access to DMV records, to give proper notice. The fee is generally $125-150 per vehicle. Just Google ""auto lien sale" and a host of them will pop up as possible. This makes sure the lien is done right.
Good luck,
