The repossessor must not cause a breach of the peace or the lienholder will be held responsible. This requirement not to breach the peace includes even if the breach is caused by, say, the debtor objecting to the repossession or resists the repossession. In the court case of MBank El Paso v. Sanchez, 836 S.W.2d 151, where a hired repossessor towed away a car even after the registered owner locked herself in it, the court decided that this was an unlawful breach of the peace and declared the repossession invalid. The debtor was also awarded $1,200,000 in damages from the bank.

No he cannot break into your garage. That is breaking and entering and he can be arrested. He can remove the car from the sidewalk, driveway or on the street. Call the police and make a report for breaking and entering.

A repoman can not jump a fence, break into a garage, house or any dwelling for that matter but too better clarify on previous responses it is not breaching the peace if you are disputing the repo and decide to run in your house and call 911, to try to get them to stop. They will not stop and if they are assaulted they do have a right to defend themselves and will press charges and yes most repo agents do have four cameras around their truck to cover their but from false accusations of breach of peace, it all comes down to this pay the note and you wont have any problems.
