Oftentimes, with a mechanic's lean, the person/company can sue to force payment or foreclosure on the property.  If your sale is that soon, this response may be too late.  I hope you have either paid, requested a delay or attempted to contact a lawyer to fix this situation.  Try www.attorneypages.com.
