While rankings, research, and a good old-fashioned test drive can help you pick the perfect new car, truck, or SUV, no manufacturer is immune to producing a vehicle that may have its share of defective components.

If you have purchased a new or used vehicle that is still under the manufacturer’s warranty, and it is spending more time at the dealership than it is on the road, you may be eligible to file a lemon law claim in California. We can help.
