both the police and dmv will try to contact the owner to let them know they need to get the car out (after paying of course for storage fees and the work done). The owner now has X amount of days to get the car out before it is passed down to the shop owner.
It is perfectly legal... but its not something that happens overnight... it takes a while... months sometimes.

It is called a garage keeper or abandoned vehicle lien. It takes some work but it can be done.
