Lemon Law Attorneys in Glendale, California

Between packed commutes, side-street workarounds, and the daily gridlocks on the 134 and 2, driving in Glendale can wear down the most patient drivers. When traffic’s this frustrating, the last thing you need is a car that keeps breaking down.

Some vehicles roll off the lot with defects that never go away, no matter how many times you bring them in. If your car’s still under warranty and the problems won’t stop, you could be dealing with a lemon.

California’s lemon law was written to protect drivers in your exact situation. The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act gives you the legal right to push back if the manufacturer can’t (or won’t) fix your vehicle. At CLINE APC, our Glendale lemon law attorneys will go toe-to-toe with automakers to demand the refund, replacement, or payout you’re owed.

Here’s When You May Have a Lemon Law Claim

• The dealership or manufacturer tried multiple times to fix the issue while the vehicle was still under warranty.
• Your car has spent 30 or more days in the shop for repairs related to covered defects.
• The defects aren’t the result of driver misuse, accidents, or lack of maintenance.

How to Start Your Lemon Law Claim in Glendale

If your car keeps breaking down and repairs aren’t solving the issue, here’s how to get your lemon law claim off the ground:

• Take your car to a manufacturer-authorized repair shop.
• Keep organized records of:
• The specific issues or recurring defects
• Dates of each repair visit
• Total number of days your car was in the shop
• All repair orders, receipts, and service notes
• Any communication with the dealer or manufacturer (emails, letters, texts)
• Connect with a competent Glendale lemon law attorney.

Does California Lemon Law Apply to Used Cars?

Yes, but only in certain cases. California lemon law can apply to used vehicles if they’re sold with a written warranty and meet specific repair-related conditions.

Coverage Through Dealer Warranties Many dealerships include a limited warranty on pre-owned vehicles, often covering the first 30 days or 1,000 miles. If your car breaks down during that window and the issue isn’t fixed after a reasonable number of attempts, you may have a valid lemon law claim. __

What You’re Entitled To If your used vehicle qualifies under the law, the dealership may be required to cover repairs, replace the vehicle, or offer a refund. You won’t pay out of pocket for legal help either; the manufacturer or dealer pays your attorney fees if you win. __

Caution for “As-Is” Purchases Cars sold “as-is” usually don’t qualify for lemon law protection. The label indicates you’re accepting the vehicle in its current condition, flaws and all. However, dealers are legally required to disclose this status clearly on the buyer’s guide. If they failed to do so or misrepresented the condition, you may still have a case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I File a Lemon Law Claim if I Bought My Car From a Dealership in Glendale But Now Live Somewhere Else?

Yes. California lemon law follows the location of the sale or lease, not where you currently live. If you purchased or leased the vehicle in Glendale and the problem started while it was under warranty, you may still have a valid claim, even if you’ve moved. What matters is where the original purchase happened and whether the defect was reported during the coverage period.

What Happens if the Dealership Keeps Saying ‘It’s Normal’ But the Issue Isn’t Going Away?

That’s a classic dodge. If the dealership tells you the issue is “normal” but your car continues to stall, shake, leak, or show warning lights, keep pressing and document everything. Manufacturers typically deny problems until pressure is applied. A lemon law attorney can help determine whether the issue meets legal standards and force a real investigation. Don’t rely on the service department’s opinion alone.

Will Filing a Lemon Law Claim Hurt My Credit or Loan Status?

No. Filing a Glendale lemon law claim is not reported to credit bureaus and doesn’t negatively impact your score. You still need to make loan payments while your case is open, but if you win, your lender is paid off as part of the buyback.

Can I Still Qualify If My Car is Out of Warranty Now?

Yes, as long as the problem started while the vehicle was still under the manufacturer’s warranty. You don’t have to be under warranty when you file the claim, just when the issue first appeared.
