You keep the car. You keep the cash.

We don't push buybacks or replacements. We pursue cash settlements under Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 90, § 7N1/2 (Massachusetts New Car Lemon Law) and federal MMWA. You stay in your vehicle. We get a check from the manufacturer. That's it.

Massachusetts lemon law FAQs

Real questions Massachusetts consumers ask. Plain English answers.

Does the Massachusetts lemon law cover used vehicles?+

Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 90, § 7N1/2 (Massachusetts New Car Lemon Law) primarily covers new vehicles. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (MMWA) frequently extends to used vehicles that came with any written warranty — manufacturer remaining warranty, certified pre-owned warranty, or a dealer's used-car warranty. We evaluate whether your case fits state law, federal MMWA, or both.

How many repair attempts does Massachusetts require?+

Massachusetts's statutory presumption: 3 repair attempts OR 15 business days out of service in first year / 15,000 miles. Federal MMWA does not set a fixed number — it requires a 'reasonable opportunity' for the manufacturer to repair, which is fact-specific.

Do I have to arbitrate before suing in Massachusetts?+

Massachusetts arbitration rules: Massachusetts Attorney General-administered state arbitration (consumer-favored). Federal MMWA claims generally do NOT require manufacturer-sponsored arbitration as a prerequisite to suit.

Who pays my attorney fees in a Massachusetts lemon law case?+

Under federal MMWA, the manufacturer pays the consumer's reasonable attorney fees when the consumer prevails. Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 90, § 7N1/2 (Massachusetts New Car Lemon Law) also typically allows fee recovery. Lemonaid Firm works on contingency — no fees out of your pocket.
