Lien sales expertise

Let ARS Auto Registration Service facilitate your lien sale.

Lien specifications

If you have repaired, furnished supplies or materials, towed or stored a vehicle and have not been paid for the services rendered, you will have a lien against the vehicle. The lien arises at the time the registered owner is presented with a written statement of charges for completed work or services.

Satisfy your lien

If the vehicle is towed by a public agency or private towing company, the lien arises when the vehicle is towed or transported. The lien may be satisfied by selling the vehicle through the lien sale process. To conduct a lien sale, you must have possession of the vehicle and have lien sale authorization from the DMV. Interested parties, including the registered and legal owners of record will be notified before the sale occurs.
