If you have been making payments on a car and you are the primary owner can the co-signer take your car and garnish your wages for the remaining balance?
A co-signer is only obligated if you default on your payment(s). I can't think of why or how one could repossess the car otherwise. If however, you default, the co-signer will be obligated to the original creditor. Then the con-signer can sue you for the amount that is owed on the vehicle or the vehicle if they are willing to keep up the payments. They have to follow due process, which means filing a suit, serving summons, the hearing, getting a judgment, acting on the judgment and so on, and so on.

Can someone garnish a cosigner for a car and garnish the primary also?
In the State of Texas, the answer would be "YES" as both parties signed for the car loan and both are responsible for the balance due. I was the primary signor but the cosigner had the car and was making the payments. Then she stopped making payments after owning the car for 3 years and the car was repossessed.
If you filed for bankruptcy would the cosigner of your auto loan be forced to take over payment?
The answer is that the cosigner would be left responsible for taking over the payments. If the cosigner wants to maintain his or her credit rating (which is probably damaged due to your filing bankruptcy), If the consignor does not want the auto loan people to sue for any remaining balance, then he or she will need to keep making the payments. If the auto loan company sues for any remaining balance and gets a judgment, then the auto loan company will go after the assets of the consignor and or garish their earnings. attempt o seize their assets or garnish their earnings.
Can a cosigner ask the court to garnish the borrower's wages to make the loan payments?
The cosigner can ask but I seriously doubt they will be successful. The cosigner knew the risks when they signed the loan application. The cosigner knew, or should have known, the borower's history of successful loan payoffs were questionable at best. The cosigner assumed the responsibility when they signed on.

A lender can't garnish wages; that has to be done by court order. That can be accomplished, but usually only after the lender has made the cosigner responsible for the debt and failed to collect. After all, that's the responsibility of being the cosigner -- to provide payment should the primary borrower fail to pay.
