You get both: Lemonaid Firm's federal expertise plus a New Mexico-admitted attorney on the local docket.

We file under whichever gives you the strongest leverage.

Three steps to a cash settlement in New Mexico.

Take the case eligibility quiz

Walk through a few quick questions about your New Mexico purchase, your repair history, and your warranty status. We check your facts against N.M. Stat. § 57-16A-1 (New Mexico Motor Vehicle Quality Assurance Act) and federal MMWA. Two minutes.

We demand the manufacturer pay

We file a formal demand citing both N.M. Stat. § 57-16A-1 (New Mexico Motor Vehicle Quality Assurance Act) and federal MMWA. Most demands resolve in 60–120 days. If the manufacturer ignores or lowballs, we file in D.N.M. federal court; 10th Circuit on appeal.

Cash in hand

You keep your vehicle. The manufacturer pays you cash for diminished value. We seek to have the manufacturer pay our attorney fees separately under federal warranty law — they don't come out of your settlement.

You keep the car. You keep the cash.

We don't push buybacks or replacements. We pursue cash settlements under N.M. Stat. § 57-16A-1 (New Mexico Motor Vehicle Quality Assurance Act) and federal MMWA. You stay in your vehicle. We get a check from the manufacturer. That's it.

New Mexico lemon law FAQs

Real questions New Mexico consumers ask. Plain English answers.

Does the New Mexico lemon law cover used vehicles?+

N.M. Stat. § 57-16A-1 (New Mexico Motor Vehicle Quality Assurance Act) 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 New Mexico require?+

New Mexico's statutory presumption: 4 repair attempts OR 30 days out of service in first 2 years / 24,000 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 New Mexico?+

New Mexico arbitration rules: Manufacturer-sponsored arbitration may be required. Federal MMWA claims generally do NOT require manufacturer-sponsored arbitration as a prerequisite to suit.

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

Under federal MMWA, the manufacturer pays the consumer's reasonable attorney fees when the consumer prevails. N.M. Stat. § 57-16A-1 (New Mexico Motor Vehicle Quality Assurance Act) also typically allows fee recovery. Lemonaid Firm works on contingency — no fees out of your pocket.
