How do I know if my vehicle qualifies as a “lemon” under the Lemon Law?

Your vehicle may qualify under the California Lemon Law if the manufacturer's authorized dealerships have been unable to repair a defect with your vehicle after a reasonable number of attempts within the warranty period.

What constitutes a “reasonable number” of repair attempts?

Typically, the California Lemon Law considers a 'reasonable number' as two or more repair attempts for a serious safety defect or four or more attempts for other substantial defects. However, each case is unique and you should consult with an attorney.

Can my vehicle qualify if it is leased or used?

Yes. The California Lemon Law applies to leased vehicles as well as used vehicles that are still under the manufacturer's original warranty or a dealer-provided warranty.

What am I entitled to under the California Lemon Law?

Under the California Lemon Law, you may be entitled to a full refund or replacement vehicle. Additionally, the manufacturer is required to pay your attorney's fees and costs if you prevail.

Do I have to pay anything up front?

No. The Lemon Pros work on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no upfront costs to you. We only get paid if we win your case, and attorney's fees are paid by the manufacturer.

Does the Lemon Law apply to used cars with no warranty?

The California Lemon Law generally requires that the vehicle be covered by a manufacturer's warranty. However, there may be other legal remedies available for used cars without warranties. Contact us for a free evaluation.

Here in California, strong consumer protection laws protect buyers of vehicles and other consumer goods. These laws are important – especially when buying or leasing a new vehicle, which is the largest purchase many Californians make regularly. The California Lemon Law gives you legal rights when you are stuck with a vehicle that breaks down again and again.
