What Documents are Necessary to Prove That My Vehicle is a Lemon?

Each time you take your vehicle in for repair, an invoice and record is generated by the dealer to verify the particular repair or service that was performed. It is important that when you pick up your vehicle from the repair facility, you request a copy of the repair order, or repair invoice. If you do not have copies of all the repair orders, your dealer can provide you with a “warranty history report” which should show the date and result of each repair visit and be sure to keep a repair log. An experienced lemon law lawyer will look at all the facts surrounding your potential claim and do a careful review to determine whether or not we can help you. Do not be dissuaded if you didn’t receive a copy of every repair receipt, there may be other ways we can prove you do have a claim.

Should I Take my car in for More Repairs if They are Needed?

It is best to talk to an attorney before you do this, though in the majority of cases if the vehicle needs to have the repair performed in order to make it drivable or safe, you should take it in for another repair. The more attempts that are made to repair a defect or problem that exists for your vehicle or product, the stronger the case becomes in most instances. NEVER leave the repair facility without getting a copy of an invoice or repair order for your records.

What if They Violated Other Rights of Mine When I Purchased My Vehicle?

If the dealer lied to you, misrepresented the vehicles prior history, dealt with you in a dishonest manner, or took illegal liberties before, during or after your purchase, you could be the victim of illegal or fraudulent or deceptive sales practices.
