Your customer must pay all fees due at the time the vehicle is picked up. No partial payment may be accepted as it would invalidate the mechanic's lien already in process.

or
We obtain a signed Release of Interest from the person who opposed the lien. This will be included on the notice the DMV sends to you.
Until the lien has been paid in full or you notify us to stop the lien, we will continue to process the lien.
The excess monies over the lien amount must be deposited with the clerk of court.
The new owner must have a valid North Carolina driver's license, proof of ownership (i.e. DMV Authorization of title or court order of title received from us), and proof of required insurance coverage and take the information to the DMV. DMV will issue title, registration, and license plate. Note: You do not have to obtain all items up-front (i.e. title, registration, and license plate). You are only required to purchase the title. Once the car is roadworthy, you may return to the DMV with the title, and apply for the registration and license plate.
Our services include a national search to locate the state of origin of the vehicle.
