\n A person who has repaired, furnished supplies\/materials for, towed, or stored a vehicle and <\/strong>is not paid for the services rendered has a lien against the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
The lien may be satisfied by obtaining a court judgment or selling the vehicle through a lien sale process outlined in the CCC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
To conduct a lien sale, the lienholder must <\/strong>have possession of the vehicle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The legal owner must<\/strong> be notified before <\/strong>any repairs, service, or <\/strong>storage may be performed if the amount of any repairs or service exceeds $1,500 or the storage charges exceed $1,025 ($1,250 for vehicles valued over $4,000).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The lien arises (becomes effective) at the time the registered owner is presented with a written statement of charges for completed work or services, or 15 days after the work or services are completed, whichever occurs first.
\u2014 However, if possession is the result of a public agency or private property impound, the lien arises when the vehicle is transported (towed). An additional lien for unpaid parking bail may be added for a vehicle impounded by law enforcement for parking violations (VC \u00a722851.1).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
A lienholder must <\/strong>apply for authorization to conduct a lien sale or file an action in court within 30 days<\/strong> after a lien has arisen, or the lien is no longer valid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The lien may be extinguished if the lienholder does not respond within 10 days to a written demand by the legal owner or lessor with either:
\u2014 A written copy of the work order or invoice showing the services or repairs performed.
<\/strong>\u2014 The authorization from the registered owner or lienholder to perform the services or repairs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Exception<\/strong>: If the vehicle is valued under $4,000 and the lien is based on towing, storage or labor, in certain cases, where possession is a result of a public agency, private party impound, or owner\/operator request, the lienholder must begin lien sale proceedings within 15 days<\/strong> of the date the lien arises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
A Salvage Pool cannot conduct a lien sale in order to obtain title to a vehicle (VC \u00a711515).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Follow regular procedures in processing lien sales. Lien sale paperwork that shows a salvage pool as the lienholder, and was started prior to November 10, 2023, will still be accepted. Salvage pools may continue to sell vehicles that went through a lien sale process prior to the salvage pool\u2019s possession.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
