Idaho Mechanic's Lien Law: In accordance with Idaho’s Mechanic's Lien Law, The Hop Shop reserves the right to place a mechanic’s lien on your vehicle if payment for services rendered is not received in full. If a customer fails to pay for completed repairs or parts within the agreed-upon time frame, the following procedures will apply:

  • Notice of Lien: If payment is not received within 30 days of the completion of services, The Hop Shop may send a notice of lien to the customer. This notice will inform the customer that a lien has been placed on the vehicle due to non-payment.

  • Lien Enforcement: If payment is not made within 60 days after the notice of lien is issued, The Hop Shop has the legal right to file a mechanic’s lien on the vehicle with the appropriate county clerk's office. This lien gives The Hop Shop the right to retain the vehicle until payment in full, including any accrued interest, fees, or costs, is received.

  • Sale of Vehicle: If the lien is not resolved within a reasonable period, The Hop Shop may take further action to sell the vehicle at public auction to recover the amount owed. Any remaining balance after the sale will be returned to the customer, if applicable, following the deduction of all owed fees.

By using our services, you acknowledge and agree that in the event of non-payment, The Hop Shop may exercise its rights under Idaho’s Mechanic’s Lien Law to secure payment for services rendered.
