Lemon Law Attorney in San Francisco County

With over 500,000 registered vehicles on the streets of San Francisco County, it’s only inevitable that some will be defective. However, that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with a faulty vehicle forever. If, despite repeated maintenance attempts, your car ends up in the repair shop repeatedly for the same warrantied issues, 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. Despite car manufacturers’ best intentions, mistakes are bound to happen. But you don’t have to live with those mistakes. If you own a lemon in San Francisco County, you’re legally entitled to compensation resulting from your defective purchase. 

With the aid 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 San Francisco County, California

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

If you live in San Francisco County, you are protected by one of the United States’ strongest lemon laws — the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. Under this law, if a manufacturer cannot repair a consumer good after a reasonable number of attempts, they must refund or replace it. 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 is well-versed in California lemon law. We’ve acquired the knowledge and skills to help you get the compensation you deserve.

How Do I Determine If My Vehicle is Actually a “Lemon?

Not every vehicle with a defect is a lemon. For your car to be deemed a lemon and to qualify for compensation, it must meet the following criteria:

#1 icon - Golden Lemon by Compass Law Group

Have a defect that cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts (2-4 depending on the issue) OR be out of service for 30 days or more

Be under warranty

Manufactured between 2019-2025

Your vehicle can be considered a lemon regardless of whether it’s brand new, used, or leased. Below is 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, provided they’re still under the manufacturer’s original warranty or a certified, pre-owned warranty. (If you purchased your car from an individual seller rather than a dealer, it likely won’t qualify.)
  • Leased Vehicles: Under the Song-Beverly Act, leased vehicles have the same protections as new and certified pre-owned vehicles.
