Garageman's lien - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

A�garageman�s lien is a security interest�that may be acquired in property by someone who spends material or labor working on that property.�A garageman�s lien usually stays in effect until the lien holder gets paid for services provided.�The failure to pay for services as agreed may allow the lien holder to keep possession of the property involved.�Thus, an automobile mechanic can hold a car until its owner pays for repairs.�

A�garageman�s lien is not necessarily limited to automobile employees.�To prevent confusion, other names may be used for the same concept (e.g., mechanic�s lien,�construction lien,�laborer's lien,�artisan's lien,�supplier's lien, materialman's lien, and�design professional's lien).�
