NY- I received a parking ticket for expired inspection while my car was in the care of a mechanic. My car broke down 2 days before the inspection expired. When the mechanic received the car from his towing company, it was already about 4 days in on the expiration. The mechanic had the car for three weeks and I didnt have him do the work because the work the car needed was covered by my warranty from the dealer. I received in the mail that this ticket was in default. I never knew about the ticket, the mechanic didnt tell me about it. My question is " Is he responsible for the ticket or not?"

Actually he might be - if, and pretty much only if, your agreement with the mechanic included a provision that your car would not be stored on a public street. Absent that, you may argue your way out of the late fees with the mechanic-did-it defense, but you'll likely have to pay the ticket.
