Can an auto repair shop hold my vehicle if i pay the full bill?

Generally, an auto repair shop cannot hold your vehicle if you pay the full bill. Once the bill is paid in full, the repair shop no longer has a legal right to retain possession of your vehicle. However, there may be some exceptions to this rule, such as if there is a lien on the vehicle or if the repair shop has a valid security interest in the vehicle. If you are unsure whether the repair shop can hold your vehicle, you should consult with an attorney.
