What Is a Oregon Motor Vehicle Possessory Lien Bond?
Auto mechanics and repair shops in Oregon must file a $20,000 possessory lien bond before assessing a mechanic’s lien. This bond, also known as a Possessory Lien Foreclosure Bond, protects customers from improper use of mechanic’s liens by auto repair shops.
Tow services, auto dealers and OEMs are exempt from the bond requirement.
How Do Oregon Motor Vehicle Possessory Lien Bonds Work?
Oregon possessory lien surety bonds create a legally-binding contract between three parties:
- Principal: The mechanic or shop purchasing the bond from the surety
- Obligee: The Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles requiring the bond
- Surety: The surety provider issuing the bond to the principal
If a customer is impacted by an unethical or illegal lien, they can file a claim to recover damages. The surety will pay out claims then seek reimbursement from the bonded mechanic.
