Lemon Law Attorney in Fresno County

With almost 900,000 registered vehicles on the streets of Fresno County, it’s only inevitable that some will be defective. If you’ve unwittingly ended up with one of these faulty vehicles, you don’t have to be stuck with it forever. If your car repeatedly ends up in the repair shop for the same warrantied issues despite multiple maintenance attempts, you may have a lemon on your hands.

A ‘lemon’ is defined as a vehicle that is unsafe to drive due to significant defects occurring within 18 months of delivery or by 18,000 miles, whichever comes first. While car manufacturers strive for quality, mistakes happen. Just remember: you don’t have to live with these mistakes. If you own a lemon in Fresno County, you’re legally entitled to compensation for your defective purchase.

With the assistance of a skilled lemon law attorney from Golden Lemon by Compass Law Group LLP, you can confidently file a claim and get the compensation you deserve — whether it’s a refund, a replacement vehicle, or a cash settlement.

Lemon Law in Santa Clara County, California

150,000 lemons are sold across California every year. Consequently, the state has instituted ‘lemon laws’ to protect the rights of consumers who unwittingly drive off dealership lots with these defective vehicles.

If you live in Fresno County, you are protected by one of the country’s strongest lemon laws — the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. Under this law, if a manufacturer is unable to repair a consumer good after a reasonable number of attempts, they must compensate you with a refund or replacement. 

Motorists who have purchased lemons are entitled to one of the following:

  1. The manufacturer will replace the vehicle
  2. The manufacturer will repurchase the vehicle
  3. The consumer can negotiate a cash settlement

The team at Golden Lemon by Compass Law Group, LLP knows California lemon law inside and out. We possess the knowledge and experience to get you the compensation you deserve.

Your vehicle can be considered a lemon whether it’s brand new, used, or leased. Here’s a breakdown:

  • New Vehicles: New cars, trucks, SUVs, or other motor vehicles purchased or leased for personal, family, or household use are covered by California’s Song-Beverly Act.
  • Used Vehicles: Used vehicles are also protected under California’s lemon law as long as they’re still under the manufacturer’s original warranty or a certified, pre-owned warranty. (If your car was purchased from a private seller rather than a dealer, it likely won’t qualify.)
  • Leased Vehicles: Under California lemon law, leased vehicles have the same protection as new and certified pre-owned vehicles.
