The following form creates a lien on automobile parts and motors for charges incurred by the Machine Shop for its services and charges in repairing and/or rebuilding the items. Upon failure by Customer to pay all charges for repairing or rebuilding the items, Machine Shop may sell the items by public or private sale, and the net proceeds of such disposition, after deducting all expenses of Machine Shop, shall be credited against the total amount owed by Customer to Machine Shop.. Machine Shop may purchase any of the items at any public or private sale by simply bidding its debt and expenses.
