Instructions for Filing a Repairman's Lien - UTAH CODE 38-2-4

A. At least thirty days before the scheduled date of any sale, send a certified letter to --
1.The registered owner of the vehicle;
2.The customer responsible for the work order request (A work order is defined as a printed business form from an established place of business, listing the business address and phone number, containing fees for all services and labor and signed by the customer or containing an electronically transferred authorization from the customer, such as a facsimile, e-mail, telephonic message which is stored, recorded or retained. This definition would comply with Utah Administrative Code R152-11, part of the Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act); and
3.All other persons claiming an interest in or lien on the property (in-state or out-of-state).
B.The certified letter shall contain:
1.The vehicle description (VIN/HIN, year, make, and model) and location;
2.The name and address of the owner of the property, the customer as indicated on the work order, and any person claiming an interest in or lien on the property;
3.The name, address and telephone number of the repairman;
4.The total amount owing to the repairman for services and labor performed;
5.The interest and any storage fees due to reclaim the vehicle;
6.The date, time, and location of the sale, and whether the sale shall be public or private (no property may be sold earlier than 45 days after completion of the repair work);
7.An explanation of the repairman's right to claim lien under Utah Code 38-2-3; and
8.Notice that the owner of the property has a right to recover possession of the property by posting a bond.
C.Before the sale takes place, the repairman must:
1.At least 20 days prior to the sale, advertise the vehicle (including VIN/HIN, year, make, and model) once in a newspaper circulated in the county where the vehicle is held.

1.Completed Certificate of Sale (form TC-839R);
2.Return receipts for all certified letters dated at least 30 days before the sale or the returned unopened letters;
