Have them sign or ask them to sign a document stating they cannot put a mechanics lien on the vehicle. If they flat out refuse, get grumpy or don't try to meet you in the middle on the verbiage....GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!
"mechanic lien laws" as a method to steal!

This intrests me! I have been hearing of shops doin this
As I read these horor stories I sit and think that Im on the other side of the fence. I have a restoration shop and I have the most trouble getting paid.
I have done the bank card with a weekly limit, done a third party (escrow) billing. But more times than not I have to push someones project outside or in the corner of the shop, I pay $.95 cent a square foot for each month.
I have been saying i need a better system of getting paid!
Most all customer think thay pay to much but there mostly frusterated on the time it takes.
Doing a nice job takes time. I swear everybody watches the west coast customs and the likes on TV and sees cars built in two weeks. That drives me crazy!
Guys I understand the greef with shops that screwed you (cash and lack of work)
But paying for quality help, the large shop, paint booth, permits, tools, ect is exsensive
But i have to agree with you guys on the time problem! It does take more than two weeks but it doesn't take two years!
