Is Your Car A Lemon? Answer These 3 Questions to Find Out
In California, a “lemon” is a new or used vehicle, purchased or leased, that requires repeated visits to the dealer for the same issue. If a manufacturer cannot repair the car after a reasonable number of repair attempts, then it must refund the consumer's money for the defective product.

FAQSWe’re Here to help
Read More FAQs What is lemon law?
Lemon Law protects consumers who've purchased or leased defective vehicles that the manufacturer can't repair after multiple attempts. If your vehicle qualifies, you may be entitled to a refund, cash settlement, or reimbursement for related expenses—at no cost to you.
How much does it cost me to hire an attorney?
Nothing out of pocket. Under the California Lemon Law, the manufacturer pays your attorney fees if you win. At Quill & Arrow, we work on a contingency basis—so if we don't recover compensation, you owe us nothing.
How much is my lemon worth?
If your car qualifies as a lemon, you may receive a refund or cash compensation that includes your vehicle's value and related expenses. In some cases, manufacturers may also be required to pay civil penalties or additional damages.
What can I be reimbursed for?
You may be reimbursed for your down payment, monthly payments, repair costs, registration fees, rental cars, towing, and more. In many cases, clients walk away with a refund or cash settlement that exceeds the vehicle's current value.
Can a used car be a lemon?
Yes—if your used car is still under the manufacturer's warranty and has recurring defects, it may qualify under California's Lemon Law. Our attorneys can review your documents and determine if you're eligible for compensation.
Why does it matter which firm I choose?
Not all firms are equal. Quill & Arrow files and litigates every case to maximize compensation, while others settle quickly for less. Our aggressive, trial-ready approach consistently gets clients the results they deserve.
