What are the requirements to file a lien against a business that sold me a lemon?

Full question:

I would like to know if I can file a lien against an auto repair shop that promised to return the price I paid for a transmission on a used car that I purchased from them, both car and transmission, as they now will not return my money. The "new" transmission blew up a week after they put it in the car.

FAQs

If the transmission is bad, you may have grounds to return the car, especially if it was sold under a warranty or misrepresented. Check your state's lemon laws, which protect consumers from defective vehicles. You should document all issues and communications with the seller to support your claim.
