Lemon law and warranties
When your car won’t stay fixed
A warranty is a promise. When the same problem comes back after the second, third, fourth trip, the law often gives you more than one more repair.
Depending on the state and the vehicle, that can mean a refund or a replacement, and sometimes the company has to pay your attorney’s fees. We take cases about cars, trucks, vans and RVs, bought new or used with a warranty.
The case is built from paper: repair orders, the warranty booklet, the sales contract. Bring them in a bag, a shoebox or as photos on your phone.

State and federal warranty laws
Where we start
Four things we read first
Repair orders
Every trip to the shop, dated, with what you reported and what they wrote down.
The warranty
What it covers, for how long, and what the maker promised in writing.
The problem
Whether it affects safety, use or value, and how often it comes back.
Days out of service
How long the vehicle sat at the shop instead of with you.
Lemon law questions
How many repair attempts are enough?
It depends on the state and on the problem. A safety defect often counts sooner than an annoyance. Bring the repair orders and we’ll read them against the rules that apply to you.
Does the car have to be new?
Not always. Used vehicles can carry a warranty too, from the maker or the dealer. We’ll read yours.
Will I have to give the car back?
Only if that’s the outcome you want and the law allows it. Sometimes the right result is a repair, a payment or a buyback. We talk through each one before you decide.
