Serving Beverly Hills and the Westside of Los Angeles including West Hollywood, Bel Air, Century City, and surrounding neighborhoods.
Key Takeaways
If your vehicle was bought or leased in Beverly Hills and the dealer cannot fix the same defect after a reasonable number of repair attempts, California's Song-Beverly Act lets you force the manufacturer to buy the car back, replace it, or pay cash. You owe nothing out of pocket because the automaker covers your attorney fees when you win.
anyone in Beverly Hills who bought or leased a vehicle still covered by a manufacturer's or dealer's written warranty, including certified pre-owned cars sold with their own new warranty.
roughly four attempts for an ordinary defect, two for a safety problem that could cause injury, or 30-plus cumulative days out of service.
a buyback (down payment, monthly payments, and loan or lease payoff minus a mileage offset), a replacement vehicle, or a cash settlement that lets you keep the car.
no fee unless you win, and the Song-Beverly Act makes the manufacturer pay your attorney fees on top of your recovery.
luxury makes like Tesla, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, and Range Rover drive higher buyback figures here, and most claims that reach court file through the Los Angeles County Superior Court system.
Buybacks on the cars common from Trousdale to the flats carry high dollar figures, and luxury makers defend these claims hard. We build the record that answers them.

Standing up for Beverly Hills drivers under California's lemon law.
California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act puts the upper hand on your side when a dealer can't fix a vehicle that's still under warranty.
If your new or leased vehicle keeps coming back from the shop with the same defect, the manufacturer is on the hook, not you. The Song-Beverly Act requires the maker to either buy the car back or replace it once it has failed a reasonable number of repair attempts for a problem that affects the vehicle's use, value, or safety. A refund covers your down payment, monthly payments, and the payoff on your loan or lease, minus a modest mileage offset for the miles you drove before the first repair visit.
Beverly Hills changes the math in two ways. The cars here skew expensive, so a buyback on a Porsche Cayenne or an S-Class carries a far higher dollar figure than a buyback on an economy sedan. And luxury makers tend to defend these claims hard, leaning on dealer service records and "could not duplicate" notes to argue the defect was never real. Detailed repair documentation is what wins those fights.
The used market works differently after the 2024 Rodriguez v. FCA decision. A used car sold with only the balance of the original factory warranty generally no longer qualifies for a buyback or replacement under California's lemon law. A certified pre-owned BMW from a Wilshire Boulevard dealer that comes with its own new warranty can still qualify if a covered defect survives repeated repair attempts. Even where a refund or replacement is off the table, used-car owners can often still recover money damages and attorney fees, so we review each used-car claim to see which remedies apply.
Most Beverly Hills lemon claims that go to litigation land in the Los Angeles County Superior Court system, with the Stanley Mosk Courthouse downtown handling the bulk of civil filings for this part of the county. You rarely set foot inside it. The vast majority of Song-Beverly claims settle before trial. But the venue still matters, because manufacturers weigh how a local jury is likely to rule. On the service side, the repair attempts that build your case usually happen at authorized franchise dealers along Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevard, and your warranty status with the California DMV stays intact whether the case settles or proceeds.
Our Beverly Hills caseload runs heavy on the brands that fill the driveways from Trousdale to the flats: Tesla battery and software faults, BMW and Mercedes electrical gremlins, Range Rover air-suspension failures, and Porsche drivetrain issues. We also handle plenty of ordinary commuters (Toyota, Honda, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Jeep, RAM), because a defect is a defect whether it sidelines a Camry or a G-Wagon.
Four stages, no upfront cost. The manufacturer pays our fees when we win, so you keep your full recovery.
Send us your repair orders, warranty paperwork, and a short description of what keeps going wrong. We read the service history line by line to confirm the defect is documented and that you're still inside the warranty window. You'll get a straight answer on whether the car likely qualifies and what a realistic outcome looks like, whether that's a buyback, a replacement, or cash-and-keep, before you commit to anything.
California doesn't set a single magic number. A safety defect that could cause injury can qualify after just two attempts, while other problems generally need three or four, or 30-plus cumulative days out of service. This is where Beverly Hills owners get tripped up: a dealer that logs a visit as "no problem found" still counts as a repair attempt, and a loaner-car arrangement doesn't reset the clock. We make sure every visit lands in the record.
We file the claim and open negotiations with the manufacturer directly. Most cases resolve here. If the automaker lowballs or stalls, the file goes to litigation, which is exactly why you want a firm with trial experience rather than one that only settles. The threat of a courtroom is what moves a serious offer.
When the case settles, you recover your money plus reimbursement for towing, rentals, and out-of-pocket repair costs. Under the Song-Beverly Act the manufacturer also pays your attorney's fees separately, which is why our representation costs you nothing.
The statute turns on whether a defect substantially impairs the vehicle's use, value, or safety. In practice that means three things. Performance failures clearly qualify: engine, transmission, or braking faults that change how the car drives. Safety defects, such as airbags that won't deploy or seatbelts that won't latch, meet the bar on their own. And anything that tanks resale value, which matters a great deal on the high-end vehicles common in Beverly Hills, can count even when the car still runs. Cosmetic gripes and routine wear do not.
Often, yes. After the 2024 Rodriguez v. FCA decision, a used car carrying only the leftover balance of the original factory warranty generally no longer qualifies for a buyback or replacement. A true certified pre-owned vehicle is different, because the CPO programs that Beverly Hills luxury dealers run usually add their own new warranty, and that can bring the car under the lemon law if a covered defect persists through repeated repairs. A car sold as-is, with no warranty at all, does not qualify, though owners shut out of a refund can sometimes still pursue damages and attorney fees.
California generally gives you four years from when you first noticed the defect. Don't wait that long. Repair records get harder to pull, service advisors move on, and the longer the gap, the more room a manufacturer has to argue the problem wasn't serious. The strongest claims are the ones where the paper trail is fresh.
Nothing out of pocket. We work on contingency, and the Song-Beverly Act makes the manufacturer pay the prevailing consumer's attorney fees on top of the settlement. Your recovery stays yours.
You need authorized warranty repairs, but not necessarily one specific dealership. Visits to any franchise dealer for the brand count toward your repair-attempt total, whether on Wilshire, in Santa Monica, or out in the Valley, as long as the work is logged. Hold onto every repair order. See the vehicle types we handle or read more answers in our full FAQ.
