A mechanic or repair shop that exercises possessory liens needs to file a $20,000 Automotive Repair Certificate of Possessory Lien Bond with the Oregon Department of Transportation. The bond allows for those injured by the auto repair shop’s illegal creation of a possessory lien to seek compensation for damages.
This bond would typically be held by a mechanic or auto repair shop who obtains a Certificate of Possessory Lien Foreclosure (you may also know this as a mechanic’s lien).

Additionally, a mechanic who is not issuing possessory liens does not need to hold the Auto Repair Possessory Lien Bond.
