Lemon Law Help: The first choice for lemon law in Los Angeles.
Did you buy a lemon car?
Unsure whether your defective vehicle qualifies as a lemon?
Under California’s lemon law, your vehicle may be considered a lemon if:
- Your car has problems that affect its use, value, or safety;
- These problems are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty; and
- The vehicle is still defective after you have given your dealership or repair shop a reasonable number of opportunities to repair it.
Note that no specified number of repairs is required to qualify—it depends on the severity of the defect and the circumstances of the repair attempts.
Generally, a car can be presumed a lemon if, within 18 months or 18,000 miles:
- A defect has not been fixed within four repair attempts;
- A defect that could cause death or serious bodily injury has not been fixed within two repair attempts; and/or
- The car has been out of service for repairs for more than 30 days in total.
We cover other qualifications for California lemon law protection extensively in our CA Lemon Law guide. Our legal team can help you understand the finer details of California lemon law statutes and determine whether your vehicle might be considered defective under these laws.

Ready To File A Lemon Law Claim? Here’s What To Do
If you recently purchased or leased a vehicle and are still dealing with the same issue after numerous trips to the shop, there are steps you need to take to protect your rights. Here’s what you’ll need to do before filing a claim:
Document everything. The mechanic or dealership should give you a work order (also known as a repair order) that states the issue you reported, the work performed, and all associated costs. These are legal documents, and you’ll need them to file a claim.
If you haven’t already, get repair visits from your dealership. California lemon law states that they must be given the opportunity to repair the vehicle before a claim is brought forth.
Contact a lemon law attorney in Los Angeles. If the issue hasn’t been fixed, lawyer up. We can assess your case, offer expert legal guidance, and answer your questions about what to expect.
When you’re ready, you can connect with us by calling our toll-free number at 833-208-8181.

Los Angeles Lemon Law FAQs
What types of vehicles are covered under lemon law?
California lemon law covers any new or used vehicle with a manufacturer’s new vehicle warranty, including:
- Cars, motorcycles, and light trucks (i.e. vans, pickup trucks, and SUVs);
- Motorhomes and recreational vehicles (chassis and chassis cab only);
- Cars owned by dealerships; and
- Vehicles purchased or leased for either personal or commercial use.
Do used cars qualify under California lemon law?
Not unless they were purchased as “Certified Pre-Owned” with a manufacturer’s warranty. The manufacturer’s warranty is crucial—without it, a successful case is not likely.
Are leased vehicles and motorcycles covered under California lemon law?
Yes, California’s lemon laws do cover leased vehicles, as well as motorcycles.
How much does it cost to hire an attorney?
Our lemon lawyers in Los Angeles work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you won’t need to pay any upfront fees. Instead, the manufacturers pay your attorneys’ fees and costs when your attorneys win your case or reach a settlement.
How long does the lemon law process typically take?
It can be hard to predict how long the legal process can take in the Los Angeles Superior Court. Often, however, your lawyer will negotiate with the manufacturer. With Lemon Law Help, you can expect the process to be as smooth and painless as possible.
What documentation do I need to get a lemon law claim started in Los Angeles?
To initiate a claim under California lemon law, make sure you have the proper documentation. You’ll need the following documents:
- The purchase or lease agreement;
- Repair orders and receipts;
- Vehicle warranty documentation;
- Records of all communication with the dealer and manufacturer; and
- Proof of all repair attempts and the issues encountered.
Do I need to meet with a Los Angeles lemon law attorney in person?
No. We offer remote consultations to make the process as easy as possible for you.
What is a typical California lemon law settlement?
While it’s not possible to guarantee or predict a settlement, a typical outcome could include a replacement vehicle, a refund for the purchase price minus a mileage-based deduction, a cash settlement of up to 3x the vehicle’s purchase price, and/or an attorney’s fees and costs.
What if my vehicle doesn’t meet all of California’s lemon law requirements?
If your vehicle doesn’t qualify for legal action under California’s lemon laws, consumer protection laws could cover you. Consult with a California attorney to discuss other legal options.
