Not likely. Since the car was being financed there is a prior lien on it. So even if you file a mechanics lien, if the car is repossessed its unlikely you would get paid. Your best bet is to file a law suit against the owner.

I don't believe you can file a mechanic's lien on a car anyway. Mechanic's liens are for real property, strangely enough.

Do you still have the car?
