Buying a new or used vehicle should be exciting—not stressful. If your car has repeated mechanical issues that the manufacturer can’t fix, California’s Lemon Law may protect you.

Generally, a vehicle may qualify as a “lemon” if it has a substantial defect that affects its use, value, or safety, and the manufacturer has had multiple attempts to repair it. This can include issues with the engine, transmission, brakes, or electrical system.

The good news? Lemon Law cases often cost consumers nothing out of pocket, as manufacturers are typically required to pay attorney fees.

Wish Law represents consumers across Southern California, helping them seek vehicle buybacks, replacements, or compensation. If your car is spending more time in the shop than on the road, you may have legal options.
