With LemonBusters on your side, you can take action against defective vehicles and pursue the recovery you deserve—without paying anything upfront.
Lemon Law Attorney in Burbank, CA
If you recently bought or leased a vehicle only to find yourself making constant trips to the repair shop, you’re likely feeling frustrated and stuck. Whether it’s a recurring engine light, transmission stutters, or faulty electronics, a defective vehicle isn’t just an inconvenience. It’s a safety risk and a financial burden.
At Khachikyan Law Firm - Lemon Busters, we know you depend on your car for your commute, your family, and your daily life. Whether that means running errands at the Empire Center or heading home to the foothills or communities like La Crescenta.
You shouldn’t have to pay for a manufacturer’s mistake. If your vehicle is still under warranty and the dealer has failed to fix the same problem after multiple attempts, you may have a “lemon” on your hands. Los Angeles County recorded more than 7.8 million vehicle registrations in 2022, the highest of any county in California, which means lemon vehicle exposure is high for Burbank drivers.
Our team is here to help you hold the manufacturer accountable through California lemon law remedies.

How We Handle Lemon Law Cases for Burbank Drivers
Taking on a lemon law claim alone is an uphill battle. Automotive manufacturers maintain dedicated legal teams whose job is to deny claims and minimize payouts. We provide the aggressive, hands-on advocacy you need to counter those tactics, with Managing Attorney Sahak Khachikyan working directly on your case and 24/7 attorney access throughout.
When you work with us, we handle:
- Case evaluation: We review your repair orders and purchase agreement to determine whether your vehicle meets the legal criteria for a lemon.
- Direct negotiation: We manage all communication with the manufacturer and their representatives. You won’t have to argue with dealership managers or navigate customer service hotlines.
- Evidence gathering: We compile the documentation needed to prove the manufacturer was given a reasonable number of attempts to repair the defect.
- Maximum recovery: Our goal is to pursue a buyback, a refund of your purchase price, including taxes and fees, or a replacement vehicle.
We’ve handled thousands of cases and recovered millions of dollars for clients across an extensive range of vehicle brands, from compact Japanese sedans to German luxury cars to Ford trucks.
What California Lemon Law Actually Covers
The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act protects California consumers who buy or lease new or used vehicles with remaining factory warranties. If your vehicle has a nonconformity, a defect that substantially impairs its use, value, or safety, and the manufacturer can’t fix it within a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to a buyback or replacement.
The Tanner Consumer Protection Act’s legal presumption applies within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles, but a valid claim can exist outside that window as long as the defect first occurred under the original manufacturer’s warranty. Covered vehicles include cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorhome chassis. When a buyback is approved, the refund covers your original purchase price, down payment, trade-in value, sales tax, and registration fees, minus a mileage offset calculated from the first repair visit for the qualifying defect, not from your total miles driven.

Compensation in a Burbank Lemon Law Case
When a manufacturer can’t repair a vehicle after a reasonable number of attempts, California law may entitle you to specific remedies.
If your vehicle qualifies, the manufacturer must offer you a choice between:
- Buyback (restitution): A refund of the purchase price or lease payments, including your down payment, trade-in value, sales tax, and registration fees.
- Replacement: A new, substantially identical vehicle with the same options and a new manufacturer’s warranty.
The law also requires the manufacturer to cover incidental and consequential damages, including:
- Towing fees: Costs for transporting the defective vehicle to the dealership.
- Rental car costs: Alternative transportation expenses while your car was undergoing warranty repairs.
- Repair reimbursements: Out-of-pocket payments you made for covered defects.
If a manufacturer willfully refuses to comply despite knowing the vehicle qualifies, a court may award civil penalties of up to two times your actual damages.
Why You Shouldn’t Accept a Goodwill Offer Without Legal Review
Manufacturers often respond to lemon law situations with a “goodwill” gesture, a few months of car payments, a service credit, or a similar offer. What they don’t tell you is that accepting typically requires signing a release that extinguishes all of your lemon law rights. The value of a statutory claim, including a vehicle buyback and possible civil penalties for willful noncompliance, can far exceed what a manufacturer puts on the table. Having our attorneys at Khachikyan Law Firm - Lemon Busters evaluate the offer before you sign means you know exactly what you’d be giving up.
One of the most valuable protections in California lemon law is the fee-shifting provision: if we win your case, the manufacturer pays our attorney’s fees. You get aggressive representation with no out-of-pocket legal costs.
