Lemon Law

Same defect, same dealership, third repair visit. California's Song-Beverly Act puts the cost on the manufacturer — not you.

When Your Vehicle Won't Stay Fixed

Under California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, manufacturers are required to repurchase or replace a vehicle when they can't fix a substantial defect after a reasonable number of attempts. We hold manufacturers to that standard, whether your vehicle is new, used, leased, or certified pre-owned.

We work on a contingency basis, and California law generally requires the manufacturer to pay our attorneys’ fees and costs separately — which is why most consumers pay nothing out of pocket to pursue a legitimate claim.

Vehicle buyback & replacement

A full repurchase of your vehicle, including down payment and monthly payments, or a replacement vehicle.

Civil penalties up to 2× damages

Manufacturers who acted in bad faith can be required to pay additional civil penalties on top of your recovery.

New, used & certified pre-owned

Coverage isn't limited to new vehicles — used and CPO vehicles still under warranty may qualify too.

Manufacturer pays your legal fees

California law generally shifts our fees and costs to the manufacturer, not to you.

Down payment & monthly payment refunds

Recovering the money you've already put into a vehicle that never should have left the lot.

Free, no-obligation case review

We'll evaluate your repair records and let you know if you qualify, before you pay anything.

How Your Case Can Resolve

Possible Remedies

If your vehicle qualifies under California's lemon law, there are a few ways your case can be resolved.

Option 01

Buyback (Repurchase)

They give you back your money (minus a little for the miles you drove), and you give back the car.

Option 02

Cash-and-Keep

They give you a cash payment, and you keep driving the car as-is.

Option 03

Replacement

They swap your lemon for a new, similar car instead of cash.
