Where are you located?
At O’Connor Law Group, P.C., we investigate negligence and abusive dealer practices while pursuing refunds, replacement vehicles, and compensation when supported by the facts and law. Because we represent both consumers and manufacturers in California Lemon Law matters, we understand how the other side builds its case and what manufacturer defenses look like in practice. That dual-side perspective shapes how we evaluate repair histories, warranty documents, and communications when assessing a potential claim.
What Does California Lemon Law Cover?
The California Lemon Law, formally known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (California Civil Code sections 1790 through 1795.8), protects consumers whose vehicles fail to conform to applicable warranties. It generally covers vehicles under the manufacturer’s original express warranty when a defect substantially impairs the vehicle’s use, value, or safety and can’t be resolved after a reasonable number of repair attempts.
If the manufacturer can’t repair a qualifying defect within a reasonable number of opportunities, available remedies may include a vehicle repurchase, a replacement vehicle, or other compensation depending on the warranty, repair history, and specific facts of the claim.
We help clients evaluate whether recurring warranty defects may support a claim for a refund, replacement vehicle, or other compensation. Potential recovery can depend on the purchase or lease agreement, warranty coverage, repair history, mileage, the nature of the defect, and other case-specific factors.
What Qualifies for California Lemon Law?
To have a qualifying claim, a defect generally must be covered by the manufacturer’s express warranty and must substantially impair the vehicle’s use, value, or safety. Unauthorized use, modification, or neglect may affect eligibility.
California law establishes a rebuttable presumption that may apply when the problem first arose within 18 months of delivery or 18,000 miles, whichever comes first, and the vehicle experienced four or more repair attempts for the same problem, two or more repair attempts for a defect likely to cause death or serious bodily injury, or more than 30 cumulative days out of service for warranty repair. This presumption is a guideline, not a universal requirement. A claim may still depend on whether the manufacturer received a reasonable number of repair opportunities even when the presumption’s specific thresholds aren’t met.
Our firm reviews each client’s vehicle history and the circumstances surrounding repeated defects and repairs to assess the strength of a potential claim.
How Much Do Lemon Law Attorneys Cost?
California’s Lemon Law includes a fee-shifting provision under California Civil Code section 1794. In qualifying consumer warranty actions, this provision permits recovery of reasonable attorney fees and costs from the manufacturer, subject to the statute and case outcome. In practice, when the statutory requirements are met and the case is successful, the manufacturer rather than the client may be responsible for those fees.
At O’Connor Law Group, P.C., we work on a contingency basis and don’t require upfront attorney fees from clients. We provide case evaluation, legal guidance, negotiation, and litigation support for qualifying matters. A consumer should confirm the specific fee arrangement and responsibility for costs with counsel before proceeding.

Who Is Covered under the California Lemon Law?
California Lemon Law generally protects consumers who purchased or leased a new vehicle with the manufacturer’s original warranty, primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.
Covered vehicle categories can include the following when statutory requirements are met:
- Cars
- Pickup trucks
- Vans
- SUVs
- Motorcycles
- Recreational vehicles, including Motor homes
- Certain business-use vehicles
Business-use eligibility can depend on the number of vehicles in a fleet and the vehicle’s weight.
Used vehicles may qualify when the manufacturer’s original new-car warranty was issued with the sale. Vehicles sold strictly as-is without applicable warranty coverage present different issues. Eligibility isn’t determined solely by a vehicle’s age. Warranty coverage, defect severity, repair opportunities, and other case-specific facts all matter. We help consumers assess whether their purchased or leased vehicle may qualify under California Lemon Law.
If you think your vehicle may qualify under California Lemon Law, contact a lawyer at our firm for an individualized assessment.
