1. Your lease or purchase contract you got from the dealer,
2. All pages of the repair order you got from the dealer every time you took your car in to get it repaired,
3. Current dmv registration and
4. A copy of your driver’s license.
Once I receive the documents, I will call you to discuss your case and options.
Yes! After I review all your repair orders, I will tell you what kind of compensations you will get!
Absolutely! The car manufacturer gives you cash (and you keep the car) or a refund for your car to compensate you for the trouble you went through BECAUSE they want to keep your business!
Absolutely NOT. It does not affect your credit at all.
Absolutely NOT. If you get cash and keep the car, nothing changes. You just get cash as a settlement for your issues and to release all claims against the car manufacturer. Your warranty stays exactly the same.
No catch! California has the best consumer law in the world! California wants to protect its consumers and keep big giant car manufacturers responsible for any impairments that can’t be fixed after reasonable attempts were made by the dealer service centers.
Yes, that’s correct. You don’t pay any money at all. No Consultation Fee, No Retainer Fee!
All your monthly payments, all your down payment, DMV registration fees, any incidentals and consequential costs such as towing or car rentals you paid out of pocket due to issues with your car with a minus deduction on the mileage you had when you first experienced the recurring car problem (mileage offset).
Yes! You can totally do that too. Cash settlements will vary and be highly dependent on the impairments you experienced and the amount of times you took the car into the dealer service center to get it repaired. Once I get your paperwork, I will discuss your cash and keep option with you at length.
Sometimes it can be as fast as 1 month! Every case varies however, on average it may take anywhere from 2 months to 6 months to get your cash and keep the car, or to get a refund. In the event we are able to pursue civil penalties, it may take longer.
This is called Civil Penalties. Civil Penalty is the amount of damages in addition to a buyer’s actual, incidental, and consequential damages. Civil Penalties were created to penalize the manufacturer or distributor from future violations of the Song-Beverly Warranty Act, California’s Lemon Law to protect the car buyer.
A car buyer can recover the civil penalty if they can show that the manufacturer failed to comply knowingly with its duties under California’s Lemon Law. Among other things, you can show this by showing that you went in multiple times to the dealer service center to fix your car but the service center couldn’t fix the recurring issue(s).
