Does this situation qualify for a mechanics lien

TennesseeMechanics LienRight to Lien

Person contacted me to work on car. Which was originally suppose to have money for by december 2019 and i acquired october 15th 2019. Finally the customer comes up with a downpayment in march 2020 which was under a signed auto order. Which stated if customer decides to cancel the repair order they must pay the total bill of the repair order. Customer has spammed me acting crazy. Is now wanting to press gta charges. And the work order has not even made it to the date the car would be complete. Do i apply for mechanic lien or what steps shoukd i take?

Mechanics lien claims are generally only available to those in the construction industry who provide a permanent improvement to real property (i.e. real estate). So, the term "mechanics" lien is a bit misleading. With that being said, there are automotive lien rights in most states for mechanics who go unpaid. But, that's a bit outside of our expertise here at the Expert Center - so I can't provide much insigh into how that works. For more on that topic, there are some good articles available elsewhere online - like this one: To Pay or Not to Pay: Auto Mechanic’s Liens in Tennessee.
