376.270 Lien on motor vehicle for repairs, storage or accessories -- Filing of
statement with county clerk.
Any person engaged in the business of selling, repairing or furnishing accessories or
supplies for motor vehicles shall have a lien on the motor vehicle for the reasonable or
agreed charges for repairs, work done or accessories or supplies furnished for the vehicle,
and for storing or keeping the vehicle, and may detain any motor vehicle in his possession
on which work has been done by him until the reasonable or agreed charge therefor has
been paid. The lien shall not be lost by the removal of the motor vehicle from the garage
or premises of the person performing labor, repairing or furnishing accessories or supplies
therefor, if the lien shall be asserted within six (6) months by filing in the office of the
county clerk a statement showing the amount and cost of materials furnished or labor
performed on the vehicle. The statement shall be filed in the same manner as provided in
the case of a mechanic's and materialman's lien, after the removal of the vehicle, unless
the owner of the vehicle consents to an additional extension of time, in which event the
lien shall extend for the length of time the parties agree upon. The agreement shall be
reduced to writing and signed by the parties thereto.
