I know you aren’t on a Mechanic Advice page asking how to screw over a mechanic- but that is how you screw over a mechanic.
Depending on your jurisdiction, mechanic liens can be a huge pain in the ass. Your shop is in the business of fixing cars not filing liens, serving documents, dealing with dmv and selling lemons.
Be an adult, deal with your problem and don’t be a shit.
