I’ve filed mechanics liens and obtained title to a dozen cars the first in 1971.
In a state as loose as Oklahoma (Title 42) you are required to submit a hard copy work order signed by the owner on record stating work to be preformed and cost estimate. You sign a notarized statement that all paperwork is true.
SAI can do whatever they want with abandoned cars but getting a title is a process with work orders, ads in legal section of news paper, certified letter to owner and an auction to recover bill due.
