Have a Lemon? We Can Help…
Contra Costa, San Joaquin & Modesto County, California Lemon Law lawyers
Consumers in Contra Costa, San Joaquin & Modesto County rely on their vehicles every day. When a manufacturer sells a vehicle with recurring defects that substantially impair its use, value, or safety, the California Lemon Law provides important protections for consumers.
Under the California Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, commonly referred to as California’s Lemon Law, consumers may be entitled to remedies when a vehicle cannot be repaired within a reasonable number of warranty repair opportunities.
Potential remedies under the California Lemon Law may include:
- Repurchase or replacement of the defective vehicle
- Reimbursement of incidental and consequential expenses, including towing, rental car, and related costs
- Civil penalties of up to two times the consumer’s actual damages in qualifying cases
- Recovery of attorney’s fees and costs
These remedies may be available for qualifying new, used, certified pre-owned, and leased vehicles that experience warranty-related defects.
How Do I Know If My Vehicle May Qualify Under the California Lemon Law?
The California Lemon Law may apply to qualifying new, used, certified pre-owned, and leased vehicles that continue to experience warranty-related defects. In many cases, a vehicle may qualify when the manufacturer or authorized repair facility has been unable to repair a substantial defect within a reasonable number of repair opportunities.
Factors commonly considered in evaluating a potential lemon law claim include:
- The vehicle has a defect covered by the manufacturer’s warranty that substantially impairs the vehicle’s use, value, or safety
- The manufacturer or authorized dealership has been given a reasonable opportunity to repair the issue
- The defect continues to exist despite repeat repair attempts
- The vehicle has been out of service for a significant number of days for warranty-related repairs
- The issues were not caused by unauthorized modifications, misuse, or neglect
Every case is different, and eligibility depends on the specific facts, repair history, and applicable law. If your vehicle continues to experience recurring problems, our firm can review your repair history and help determine whether you may have rights under the California Lemon Law.

Precisely what am I eligible to receive if my car or truck is a “Lemon?”
If your automobile or other consumer product is a lemon, you could be permitted to get it repurchased or replaced.

If you should choose a repurchase, you are qualified for a refund of all monies committed to your lemon: deposit, monthly finance installments and payoff of the finance agreement.
