How your Maine claim gets built
Our lemon law work is directed by Steven P. Nassi, Esq., Managing Partner, Easy Lemon by RockPoint Law P.C. A Maine claim gets built on two things: the Maine lemon law statute, and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which applies in all fifty states. Send the repair orders and the purchase or lease paperwork, and we can tell you which of the two fits your vehicle.

Biddeford Lemon Law Basics
The law that applies in Biddeford is Maine's lemon law, Me. Rev. Stat. tit. 10, §1161 to §1169, and it covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Maine, including the chassis of motor homes. You may have a claim if your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above while the defect is still there and you are inside the deadline. The statute text, the filing deadlines and the rules on used cars are on our Maine Lemon Law Attorneys page.

Is Your Biddeford Car a Lemon? Maine's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
Under Maine law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
In Maine the test is 3 repair attempts for the same defect or a reasonable number of attempts, or 15 cumulative business days out of service, as long as the claim is brought within the deadline in step 3. Count the visits on your repair orders to see where you stand.
Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?
In Maine, you must request state arbitration within 3 years from original delivery or the express warranty term, whichever comes first. We check that deadline against the delivery date on your contract and the dates on your repair orders.
If you are not sure about your dates, call us. The consultation is free. 📞 (855) 435-3666
If you think you are past a deadline, call us anyway. We may still be able to help.
Court and Venue in Biddeford
Biddeford is in York County. York County's general civil trial court is the York County Superior Court. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.
The Maine lemon law is Me. Rev. Stat. tit. 10, §1161 to §1169. The claim must go through the Maine Motor Vehicle Arbitration Board, which the state administers.
The repair test in the statute is 3 repair attempts for the same defect (or a reasonable number of attempts), or 15 cumulative business days with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. The court may award a consumer who prevails reasonable attorney fees and costs, and it must award them when the consumer prevails on an appeal of a state arbitration decision.
Open recalls on your vehicle can be checked against NHTSA records at easylemon.com/recalls. A recall alone is not a lemon law claim.

Maine Lemon Law: The Rules That Decide a Biddeford Claim
Beyond the repair test and the arbitration rule, which are both in Court and Venue above, Maine law has some provisions of its own.
Notable provisions of Maine Lemon Law
Maine counts only 15 business days out of service, and you have up to 3 years from delivery (or the warranty term, if that ends first) to request state arbitration. Arbitration is state-run, not manufacturer-run, and the law also covers the chassis of motor homes.

What The Manufacturer Owes You
The Maine statute provides for a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use, and a qualifying case from Biddeford usually ends in one of these three ways.
Refund
You hand back the car. In return the manufacturer repays the price, the taxes, the registration fees and the finance charges, with a reasonable use offset taken out.
Replacement Vehicle
You leave with a comparable new car. The manufacturer pays for the swap.
Cash Settlement
You keep the car, and the manufacturer pays you for the value the defect took off it. This result is not listed in the statute and comes from negotiation.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Easy Lemon has handled 3,000+ lemon law cases‡.
My brother-in-law, a mechanic, said 'that's not normal for a modern engine. Call someone.' So I did. I spoke to Steven Nassi at Easy Lemon.
He explained that excessive oil consumption is a known defect in certain Subaru engines. He'd handled similar cases. He said, 'They tell you it's normal because they don't want to replace the short block.' He already knew the internal service bulletins.
His team filed the claim. Subaru settled with a cash payment that covered my oil expenses and then some. I was genuinely surprised it worked.
Why different? Steven saw a pattern I didn't know existed. They don't just take cases; they know manufacturer secrets.”
