The California Lemon Law is one law that was truly passed to protect consumers against the auto manufacturers who have a lot of power to ignore the “little guy” who purchases a vehicle. This law protects anyone who has bought a car, truck, RV or motorcycle and they believe they were sold a lemon.

This law which is actually called the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act is the California vehicle consumer’s best friend. It not only covers a new vehicle but used and leased vehicles as well. As long as the vehicle is still under warranty, then this law will probably cover it if it qualifies, especially if the vehicle does not in any way live up to what is stated in the warranty.

The California Lemon Law gives the consumer many rights such as: the right to cover towing costs related to the vehicle, cover the costs of a rental car, the right to sue for an exact or better replacement vehicle or your money back and also the right to pay you back for any payments that were made on the vehicle. Also, this law guarantees that if it can’t be repaired, then the manufacturer has to, no questions asked, give you a full refund or replace the vehicle. And was already stated, the cost of a rental car, towing and any payments already made.

This law is pretty straight forward, but even with that being the case, it’s always best to contact an attorney. Just make sure that you get a free consultation with one that will also give you a free evaluation to check if you qualify under this law. Most attorneys that specialize in this lemon law do not charge any out of pocket expenses and will only take a percentage of what they recover. If you don’t make anything, they don’t make anything.

Remember, this law is really on your side. The attorneys that specialize in this law are on your side as well. Because there are so many vehicles that turn out to be lemons, this law was created and passed by the California legislators. Take advantage of it. Put your paperwork together, read about the law, then contact a California Lemon Law specialist. Don’t put up with your lemon vehicle any longer. This law gives you a place to go and get retribution. Take advantage of it. After all, it is your right.
