A Notice of Lien for Motor Vehicle Repairs and of Sale at Public Auction to Satisfy Lien is a notice issued by a lien holder when a motor vehicle is being sold to satisfy a lien that has been placed on the vehicle. This type of lien is typically placed when a motor vehicle owner fails to pay for repairs to their vehicle. The Notice of Lien will be posted in a public place, such as a government bulletin board or a newspaper, and will state the date, location, and other pertinent details of the upcoming public auction. The Notice will also provide the vehicle owner with an opportunity to redeem the vehicle prior to the auction by paying the outstanding debt. There are two types of Notice of Lien for Motor Vehicle Repairs and of Sale at Public Auction to Satisfy Lien: Statutory Liens and Contractual Liens. Statutory Liens are placed on a vehicle when a mechanic performs a repair on the vehicle and is not paid for the work. Contractual Liens are placed when a vehicle owner has a contract with a mechanic or repair shop and fails to pay the bill according to the terms of the contract.
