Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Minnesota
Can I repossess a vehicle from a repair shop if the debtor owes a repair bill? The car is at a repair shop, in an open area. It has been repaired and the debtor owes the shop for repairs. I have been trying to find it and repo it for weeks. Can I repo it from the shop? Who owes the repair bill? What documents must I have with me when I repo the car? Do I need to notify the local sheriff of the repo?

Unless you have a Security Agreement which allows you repo rights, NO you may not interfere with the possessory lien of the repair shop
What is the basis of debt owed you?
Do you have a judgement?
The starting point is a review of your written agreement pertaining to this vehicle (if any). Based upon you posting all these detailed questions on a general legal informational website, I urge you to pay an attorney to provide you with formal legal counsel & legal opinion on the matter. The information here is general legal info', not legal advice & counsel.
