CA Lemon Laws - Commonly Asked Questions

Answered by the Los Angeles Lemon Law Lawyers at N&S Legal Group


The following list of frequently asked questions about the California Lemon Laws have been answered by the Lemon Law Lawyers at N&S Legal Group a Los Angeles based Law Firm specializing in CA Lemon Law and representing clients from all over the entire state of California.


How does the California Lemon Law work?


In California, the Lemon Law is set up so that the purchaser of a vehicle can seek a refund or replacement of their vehicle so long as the vehicle has:

  • Been taken in for service on four (4) or more occasions for a defect that substantially impairs the use or value of the vehicle;
  • Been taken in for service on two (2) or more occasions for a defect that is likely to cause serious injury or death; or
  • Been in service for thirty (30) or more cumulative calendar days.

If any one of the above requirements is met, it creates a legal presumption that the vehicle is a Lemon, and you may be entitled to one of two options below, at your choice:

  1. A new vehicle, which is the same, or similar to the one you own and a refund for miscellaneous costs associated with the vehicle (towing, rentals, etc...);
  2. A complete refund, including tax, license, registration, miscellaneous costs associated with the vehicle (towing, rentals, etc...), and all the payments made on the vehicle.

Both of these are subject to a mileage offset, which is calculated according to a set formula we will be happy to explain to you.


How long does a Lemon Law case take?


The entire process from the day you contact us to the day we resolve your Lemon Law case usually takes between 60 to 100 days, but we will know if the manufacturer believes your vehicle to be a lemon within the first 30 to 45 days.


What am I entitled to when I win my Lemon Law case?
