Any person engaged in the business of storing
or towing motor vehicles in either a private capacity or for the city who
has substantially complied with the requirements of § 72.21 shall
have a lien on the motor vehicle for the reasonable or agreed charges for
storing or towing the vehicle as long as it remains in his possession.
If after a period of 45 days, the reasonable or agreed charges for storing
or towing a motor vehicle have not been paid, the motor vehicle may be
sold to pay the charges after the owner has been notified by certified
mail ten days prior to the time and place of the sale. If the proceeds
of the sale of any vehicle pursuant to this section are insufficient to
satisfy accrued charges for towing, transporting, and storage, the sale
and collection of proceeds shall not constitute a waiver or release of
responsibility for payment of unpaid towing, transporting, and storage
charges by the owner or responsible casualty insurer of the vehicle.
This lien shall be subject to prior recorded liens.
