S.C. Code Ann. § 56-19-840
An operator of a place of business for garaging, repairing, parking or storing vehicles for the public in which a vehicle remains unclaimed for a period of thirty days shall, within five days after the expiration of that period, report the vehicle as unclaimed to the Department. Such report shall be on a form prescribed by the Department.
A vehicle left by its owner whose name and address are known to the operator or his employee is not considered "unclaimed." A person who fails to report a vehicle as unclaimed in accordance with this section forfeits all claims and liens for its garaging, parking or storing.
