New York DMV Form MV-901A, known as the Notice of Lien and Sale, is an official document used by mechanics, storage businesses, and towing companies in New York.
Its primary purpose is to notify the New York Department of Motor Vehicles about a garageman’s lien on a motor vehicle or boat, establishing your legal claim to seek payment for services rendered. By filing this form, you initiate the garageman’s lien process, which can lead to the eventual sale of the vehicle to recover the outstanding debt.
It is one of several forms that must be completed during the lien process.
