How long does a repair shop have to keep something if customer not pay?
It depends on the state's laws. Typically, repair shops have a lien on the customer's vehicle for the cost of repairs, storage, and any other charges. This means that the repair shop can keep the vehicle until the customer pays the bill. The amount of time that the repair shop can keep the vehicle varies from state to state. In some states, the repair shop can keep the vehicle for up to 30 days, while in other states, the repair shop can keep the vehicle for up to 60 days.
