Obviously, he should always retain the vehicle until payment in full is received. He may have to sue to obtain payment for the services performed.
Re: business to business work
He needs to hire a lawyer familar with the lien law. He is a mechanic and is entitled to certain protections. If you are located on Long Island, a call to the County Bar Association in your county will yield the names of some very good lien law lawyers. A business like yours ought to have one on monthly retainer.
Good Luck
