With LemonBusters on your side, you can take action against defective vehicles and pursue the recovery you deserve—without paying anything upfront.

Glendale Lemon Law Attorney

If your new or leased car, truck, SUV, or RV keeps going back to the shop for the same problem, California law may entitle you to a refund or a replacement. Khachikyan Law Firm - Lemon Busters helps Glendale drivers hold manufacturers accountable under California's lemon law, the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act.

Our office is in downtown Glendale. We handle claims for residents across Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, La Cañada Flintridge, La Crescenta, and the surrounding communities. You pay nothing upfront, and in a successful lemon law case the manufacturer typically pays your attorney's fees.

Is My Car a Lemon?

A vehicle may qualify as a lemon when:

  • It has a defect covered by the manufacturer's warranty that affects use, value, or safety
  • The manufacturer or its dealer could not fix it after a reasonable number of repair attempts
  • You bought or leased it in California

Common signs include:

  • Four or more repair attempts for the same problem
  • Two or more attempts for a serious safety defect (brakes, steering, stalling)
  • Your vehicle out of service for more than 30 days total for warranty repairs
  • A problem that returns after being "fixed"

Keep every repair order, even when the dealer says "could not duplicate." Those records are the backbone of a claim.

Lemon Law Help for Glendale Drivers

Glendale drivers put real miles on their vehicles. Daily commutes on the 134, the 5, and the 2, stop-and-go traffic toward downtown Los Angeles, and steep hillside streets in neighborhoods like Verdugo Woodlands and Chevy Chase Canyon are hard on transmissions, brakes, cooling systems, and electronics. When a defect keeps coming back, it isn't just an inconvenience. It's a safety issue on roads you drive every day.

We regularly see Glendale-area claims involving:

  • Transmission shuddering, slipping, or hesitation
  • Infotainment, backup camera, and driver-assistance failures
  • Electric and hybrid vehicle battery and charging problems
  • Engine stalling, check-engine lights, and oil consumption
  • Water leaks and electrical faults that dealers can't diagnose

If you bought or leased from a Glendale-area dealership, or had repairs done at one, your repair history is already documented locally. Bring us the paperwork you have and we'll tell you where you stand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is California's lemon law?

It's the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. It requires manufacturers to repurchase or replace new vehicles with warranty defects they can't fix after a reasonable number of attempts.

How do I know if my car qualifies as a lemon in Glendale?

Generally, your vehicle has a warranty-covered defect that affects its use, value, or safety, and repairs haven't fixed it. Repeated repair attempts for the same problem, or a vehicle that has spent a long time in the shop, are strong indicators.

Does the lemon law apply to leased vehicles?

Yes. Leased vehicles are generally covered, and leasing doesn't prevent you from seeking a refund or replacement.

Does it cover used cars?

It can. Used vehicles may be covered if they're still under the manufacturer's original warranty or sold with a manufacturer-backed warranty. A "certified pre-owned" warranty is evaluated case by case. Call us with your paperwork.

How many repair attempts are enough?

There's no single magic number. California law presumes a lemon in common situations, such as four or more attempts for the same defect, two for a serious safety defect, or more than 30 days out of service, within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles. Claims outside those presumptions can still succeed.

What if the dealer says they can't find the problem?

Keep the repair order anyway. A "could not duplicate" visit is still a documented repair attempt. Ask for a written record every time.

What can I recover?

Typically a refund or replacement, plus related costs, and in some cases civil penalties. Attorney's fees are generally paid by the manufacturer in a successful claim.

How much does it cost to hire a lemon law attorney?

Nothing upfront. Khachikyan Law Firm - Lemon Busters takes lemon law cases without charging you out of pocket, and fees are generally recovered from the manufacturer.

Is there a deadline to file?

Yes, and the deadlines have changed. Newer California rules apply to manufacturers who have opted in to procedures from AB 1755 and SB 26, including pre-lawsuit notice and early mediation steps. The sooner you call, the more options you keep.

What should I bring to a consultation?

Your purchase or lease agreement, warranty booklet, every repair order, and any texts or emails with the dealer or manufacturer. Don't have everything? Call us anyway.

Do I have to go to court?

Most lemon law claims settle before trial. If yours doesn't, we're prepared to take it as far as it needs to go.

Can I still use my car while the claim is pending?

Generally yes. Talk to us before you stop making payments or make any repairs outside the manufacturer's network, because either can affect your claim.

Your car shouldn't spend more time in the shop than on the road. Call Khachikyan Law Firm - Lemon Busters at (747) 946-5884 or request your free consultation online. We're available 24/7.
