Why
haven’t I heard more about the
California Lemon Law?
Though not drenched in media
attention, the California Lemon Law is
one of the most attractive,
“consumer friendly” consumer
protection laws in the nation. It is
for this reason that you should take
advantage of it. The Law
Offices of William R. McGee can defend
your rights and bring a swift and fair
resolution to your lemon ownership
experience.
What
am I entitled to under the California
Lemon Law?
If you financed or leased your
vehicle, you are entitled to get back
your down payment (or lease inception
fee), government fees, trade-in
equity, license fees and all the
monthly payments you have made up to
the date of settlement. You may
also be entitled to towing
reimbursement, as well as rental car
expenses you personally paid during
your warranty repair visits. The
manufacturer pays off the existing
loan (or lease), you turn the
vehicle back in to the car dealership,
and you get your Lemon Law refund
check. This is known as a
vehicle repurchase. In certain
circumstances you may also elect to
take a replacement vehicle in lieu of
a repurchase. This is known as
an exchange of collateral.
Your loan remains the same, and you
simply “swap” your present vehicle
for a new one with the same equipment.
Leased vehicles are treated in the
same way.
In
any Lemon Law action, the manufacturer
is entitled to an offset for
mileage based on the odometer reading
at the first time you had your
vehicle repaired for a recurring
problem. There is a specific
formula for calculating this offset,
which your Lemon Law attorney will
discuss with you.
How
long can this process take?
We can usually reach a settlement with
the manufacturer within 30-90 days by
retaining our firm. A very large
number of cases are settled in as
little as 30 days! You will not
damage or compromise your credit by
taking advantage of the Lemon Law.
As
you can see, after you retain our firm
it can be a very quick process.
And we keep you updated on your cases
progress. You no longer need to be
involved with car dealers or auto
manufacturers and suffer the
frustration and anxiety of dealing
with these problems.

lemon law rights.
