FinnDunn asked:
and after you have paid the auto repair shop for the work that they did? And you account is not past due, and the auto repair shop has storage fees?
What is the deal with this?
these two aren’t affiliated with each other, but the finance company is saying that since the payment will be due in about five days after car is fixed they are want to have the mechanic refuse to release the car ?
sorry about the grammar typos towards the end.

The finance company can require that their agent look at the vehicle repairs before it leaves the shop. Since they still have an interest in the vehicle, they want to make sure the repairs were done according to invoice.
If the finance company’s name is on the check made payable to the repair shop, the repair shop will follow their rules in order to get paid.

I recommend that you interview several attorneys who specialize in this area of law.
Essentially the finance company cannot direct the mechanic not to release your car.
I recommend that you consider suing the finance company in small claims court.
Also I recommend that you ask one of thee attorneys that you interview to send a letter to the finance company on your behalf.
A letter from an attorney will often bring a finance company back into compliance with the law.
some of the smaller auto finance companies ignore the law if they think that they can get away with it.

Why would they hold your car hostage?? If the bill is paid? was the vehicle in a drug bust or something???
I’d consult with a lawyer..
