They would have to take you to court and win. Only the courts can garnish your wages.

A garnish is a substance used primarily as an embellishment or decoration to a prepared food or drink item.
garnishee (v.) To seize by garnishment: garnishee a debtor's wages.
So no, they won't garnish your wages. But when you purchase an automobile on credit, the lending company remains the legal owner of the vehicle. If you don't make payments as agreed, they can and will repossess the vehicle and sell it at auction. The cost of taking possession of the vehicle and attorney's fees will be added to the amount you owe. After the sale if there is a balance left that you owe, they can go to court and attach (garnishee) your wages for the amount owing. If you want to avoid this, make the payments.

Not only can they garnish your wages, they will come and reposess the car...sell it at auction and you will be responsible for the difference of what they sell the car for and what is actually owed. This can be a bad situation. You will still owe on the car but not even have the luxury of having it. I suggest you get back on track and make your payments
