I have a summons to appear in court in ten days for past due medical bills totaling 3,000. I don't have a job and am not married, but I own my car, the car is worth about 3000- 4000, since I have mo other way for them to garnish anything from me, can they take my car?

If the medical provider or collection agency is successful in getting a judgment against you, then what they will be able to do to collect depends on what property is exempt, or safe, from creditors. You'll find more information about this topic on our page about property exemptions
