What Is the Lemon Law?
California has one of the strongest consumer protection laws in the country. Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, if you purchased or leased a vehicle in California and it has a substantial defect covered by the manufacturer’s original warranty, you may have a Lemon Law claim.
The defect must significantly affect the safety, use, or value of the vehicle. You must also give the manufacturer a reasonable number of opportunities to fix the issue, typically through their authorized dealership. If the issue still isn’t resolved, the law may require the manufacturer to buy back your lemon vehicle and reimburse you for your purchase or lease price and related costs.
Fortunately, you don’t have to figure this out on your own. The attorneys at The Barry Law Firm can review your case and help determine whether your defective vehicle qualifies under the state’s Lemon Law.

Tips from a Lemon Law Attorney to Strengthen Your San Diego Lemon Case
If you suspect you have a lemon, there are several things you can do now to protect your rights and build a strong case:
- Keep detailed repair records. Always get a repair order and final invoice each time you take your vehicle to the authorized dealership. Make sure the documents include the date, mileage, and a description of the problem and attempted repairs. Save receipts and invoices for any other expenses related to your defective car.
- Follow up in writing. Document your communications with the manufacturer or their authorized dealership. If you speak to someone by phone or in person, follow up with an email confirming the conversation.
- Don’t delay. California’s Lemon Law offers a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit. Waiting too long can cost you your claim. Contact a Lemon Law attorney as soon as you suspect you may have a lemon.
- Avoid making unauthorized repairs. Only authorized dealerships can perform repairs that count toward the manufacturer’s reasonable opportunity to fix the defect. If you get your car fixed at an independent mechanic, the manufacturer may try to use it against you in your Lemon Law claim.
- Speak to an attorney before trading in or selling your car. If you sell or trade in the vehicle before resolving your Lemon Law claim, you could lose the right to fair compensation. Our attorneys can help you make an informed decision.
The better your documentation and the sooner you get a lawyer involved, the more prepared you can be for your California Lemon Law claim.
