No confidentiality clause on any of them, which is why we can show you the vehicle, the defect, the repair record and the exact dollar breakdown.
How to read these
The figure the Song-Beverly Act’s own formula produces: your purchase price back, less a mileage offset for the miles you drove before the first repair attempt.
Up to two times your actual damages, available when the manufacturer’s failure to repurchase was willful. This is where a case is usually won or lost.
California may presume your vehicle is a lemon once it has been out of service for 30 days or more during the presumption period. Every visit counts.
Paid by the manufacturer in every case shown here. Our clients paid nothing out of pocket, and the recovery figures above are what they actually kept.
