118 Wn.2d 585, P.2d 152, STATE v. PIKE Automotive mechanics' liens are governed completely by the Automotive Repair Act (RCW 46.71), and a mechanic asserting a lien must strictly comply with its statutory provisions. Under this section, when a mechanic is required to provide a written estimate or a choice of estimate alternatives under RCW 46.71.040, a written estimate is always required prior to the assertion of a lien. The second derivation of RCW 46.71.050 states that a mechanic "who is not required by RCW 46.71.040 to provide the customer with a written price estimate or a choice of estimate alternatives" shall be barred from asserting a mechanic's lien for the "unauthorized" amounts. www.mrsc.org /mc/courts/supreme/118wn2d/118wn2d0585.htm   (3344 words)

Jefferson Review In terms of the Automobile Emissions Testing Program that has been enacted by the various States in accordance with the mandates as directed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, a third party comes into play, and that is the automobile mechanic. Due to the technological sophistication of today's automobiles, people have become dependent upon those who service their automobiles, especially when it comes to pollution controls. To add insult to injury, the owner/operator can, through either ignorance or design, ignore the substance of the charges that have been leveled against his or her automobile and be charged with a criminal act for simply driving to the store in order to buy a loaf of bread. www.jeffersonreview.com /articles/2003/081803/usepa.htm   (389 words)
