It depends on the contract you have with the storage garage. Some storage facilities require that property stored have no liens. Some state in their contracts that if a lienholder produces proper paperwork, they (the storage facilities) will allow them access to the liened property. In AZ, if you store property with a lien on it and refuse access to the lienholder, it is a felony ( ARS Title 13, Section 2204). But to simplify the answer, no, a repo company cannot pick, break or remove a lock to repossess a vehicle without a court order. They can open a gate if it is not locked. The Uniform Commercial Code states that when you sign the finance contract, you are authorizing the lienholder or it's agent (the repo company) to enter your property.

Can your car be repossessed from your garage on private property in CA?
A car that is actually YOURS cannot be repossessed, as it's paid off. If you have a vehicle being repossessed, they're able to do this because it's actually the finance company which owns that vehicle and possesses their title. A recovery agent can, on behalf of the lienholder, go onto private property in order to recover the lienholder's property - with limitations. They cannot cross a locked gate, and they cannot enter a locked building.
