Only Ch. 13 is certain to get it back, but it's normally too expensive to be practical just for 1 vehicle.

Yes but you have limited time to get to an attorney to do so.

You probably could get it back by filing in either chapter and bringing documentation of your filing to whoever has the authority to release the car. You will still have to pay the fines or forfeitures. There is some chance the authorities will not release the car until you actually pay the fines. In my view that is not permitted-but the BR Judge might not agree. Best choice: find a skilled bankruptcy lawyer in your locality. It's almost always worth the investment.
