Spies Become MythBusters When It Comes To Your Options If You Think You've Bought A Lemon
Last week, AutoSpies.com featured our article (“So You Think You Bought A Lemon? THIS Is Who You Call!”) addressing the frustrations of car consumers and the solution to their repeated car problems: Bobby Samini and William Ibrahim of Allenbaugh | Samini LLP.
In our years of assisting numerous clients to obtain refunds and replacement vehicles, we have noticed that there are many misconceptions and myths relating to California lemon law and fears of the process of obtaining a refund or replacement vehicle.
This week, we address the most common myths and the steps that Bobby Samini and William Ibrahim take to alleviate commonly-held concerns.
MYTH #1
My car’s problems do not qualify it as a lemon. Even if the problems do qualify my car as a lemon, the service department continues to attempt repairs at no charge to me.
FACT #1
A car may qualify as a lemon with as little as 2 service visits for safety related concerns or 4 or 5 visits for concerns that, while not safety related, affect the use or value of the car. Examples of problems affecting the use or value of the car include faulty window motors, loss of battery charge, difficulty starting the car, and false warning lights.
Even if the service department continues to repair your car at no charge to you, California law was enacted to protect consumers from the frustration and waste of time that goes along with repeated service visits.
Consumers should also be aware that California law may require you to disclose known problems to potential buyers of your car. Why should you get stuck with the responsibility of a problem car when there are laws in place requiring manufacturers to take responsibility for the cars they’ve sold/leased to you?
MYTH #2
My car does not qualify as a lemon because it has been more than 18 months since I leased or bought my car.
FACT #2
The truth is that a car may qualify as a lemon under California law as long as the problem(s) started while the car was covered by the original manufacturer’s warranty. It does not matter whether the car was purchased new or used, the car was leased, or even that the car is now out of warranty.
MYTH #3
Hiring an attorney for my problem car is going to mean filing a prolonged lawsuit that will consume all of my time and energy.
FACT #3
The majority of our cases are resolved in less than 3 months with little to no effort on the part of the client. Our process is painless and most of our client’s work is done once we receive the appropriate documentation (i.e. service records, purchase/lease agreement, and car expenses) at the beginning of our representation. Obviously, every case is different and the amount of time your case may take and the success of your case depends on the specific facts of your case.
MYTH #4
Hiring an attorney will be expensive and will require me to pay fees upfront without knowing whether my case will be successful.
FACT #4
While it is true that many other attorneys and law firms require a fee upfront before any work is done on your case, this is not the case with our firm. We don’t believe in taking our fees upfront. We are so confident in our ability to evaluate and pursue your claim that our firm will only collect a fee upon your receipt of the refund check or replacement vehicle. If your case is not successfully resolved, our firm will not collect any fees.
MYTH #5
Even if the process is relatively painless, I won’t know it because I will never be able to reach my attorney to find out what is going on with my case. When I am finally able to reach my law firm, I’ll only be able to speak with secretaries, assistants, and consultants who are not attorneys.
FACT #5
This is a common and mostly valid concern with law firms in general, especially lemon law firms. Unlike many other firms, you will not have to worry about speaking to a different person each time you have a question. Our focus is on providing our clients with personal attention. You will have direct access to your attorney and will receive continuous updates from your attorney so that you are always aware of the status of your case.
If you are in the State of California and one or more of the above myths have discouraged you from contacting an attorney in connection with your problem vehicle, give us a call. We are confident you will see that our process and approach are quite easy and painless. After all, there is a reason why Agent 001 trusts and has personally used Bobby Samini and William Ibrahim.
