Birmingham Lemon Law

Birmingham Lemon Law Basics

Alabama's lemon law, Ala. Code §8-20A-1 to §8-20A-6, is the one that applies in Birmingham. It covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Alabama, used primarily for personal, family, or household purposes, and you may have a claim once your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above, as long as the defect is still there and you are inside the deadline. Our Alabama Lemon Law Attorneys page has the full statute text, the filing deadlines and the used-car rules.

We File the Claim

We write and send the paperwork, including any written notice to the manufacturer that AL law requires. We deal with the manufacturer for you.

Is Your Birmingham Car a Lemon? Alabama's 3-Step Test

Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?

Under Alabama law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Alabama the test is 3 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative calendar 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 Alabama the deadline is 3 years from original delivery. We check it 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 are past the deadline, call us anyway. We may still be able to help.

Jefferson County & Shelby County

Court and Venue in Birmingham

Parts of Birmingham lie in Jefferson County and Shelby County, per the 2020 Census. Their general civil trial courts are the circuit court of Alabama's Tenth Judicial Circuit for Jefferson County and the circuit court of Alabama's Eighteenth Judicial Circuit for Shelby County. Alabama also has a lower court for smaller civil claims, so the amount in dispute can change where a case is filed. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.

The Alabama lemon law is Ala. Code §8-20A-1 to §8-20A-6. If the manufacturer has a dispute program that follows federal rules, the consumer must use it first.

The repair test in the statute is 3 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative calendar days with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use allowance). Under the statute, a consumer who prevails can recover attorney fees from the manufacturer.

Open recalls on your vehicle can be checked against NHTSA records at easylemon.com/recalls. A recall alone is not a lemon law claim.

What the Statute Says

Alabama Lemon Law: The Rules That Decide a Birmingham Claim

The Alabama repair test, arbitration rule and deadline are under Court and Venue above, so they are not repeated here. This section adds a few more rules from Alabama law.

Notable provisions of Alabama Lemon Law

Repair attempts count over the first 24 months or 24,000 miles from original delivery (whichever comes first), and at least one of them must fall within the first year or 12,000 miles. The manufacturer has a final repair opportunity after written notice.

Your Rights Under AL Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

Alabama's statute lists replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use allowance). In practice, a qualifying Birmingham case under AL law usually ends in one of three ways, and the cards below explain each.

Refund

You return the car. The price comes back to you, and so do the taxes, the registration fees and the finance charges, after a reasonable use offset is taken off.

Replacement Vehicle

You trade the defective car for a comparable new one, and the manufacturer pays what the swap costs.

Cash Settlement

The car stays with you, and the manufacturer pays for the drop in value the defect caused. The statute does not provide for this. It comes out of negotiation.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Alabama law and on the paperwork Birmingham drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Most of the Alabama cases we handle settle at the written-demand stage, without a lawsuit. How long that takes depends on your repair history and on the manufacturer. The Alabama filing deadline is within 3 years from original delivery.

Usually not. Most lemon law cases we handle for Birmingham drivers settle with the manufacturer before a lawsuit is filed. On arbitration, the Alabama rule is: if the manufacturer has a dispute program that follows federal rules, you must use it first. We prepare that filing for you.

ELIGIBILITY

Ala. Code §8-20A-1 to §8-20A-6 covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Alabama, used primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. If you bought used, send the paperwork anyway, including any written warranty that came with the car.

REMEDIES

Ala. Code §8-20A-1 to §8-20A-6 provides for replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use allowance). Which one you get depends on your repair history and on what the manufacturer offers.

In Alabama, the manufacturer pays the consumer's attorney's fees when the consumer wins. We work on contingency, so you pay nothing upfront and there is no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. When a manufacturer settles or loses, we ask it to pay our fee on top of your recovery. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. §2310(d)) adds a second fee-shifting route when a written warranty is breached. Our fee agreement is one page.

ATTORNEY & TRUST

No. Our offices are in Manhasset NY, Newark NJ, Miami FL and Dallas TX. We handle Alabama cases by phone, email and e-signature. You upload your repair orders, your contract and your warranty booklet. We send the demand letter and handle the settlement paperwork. Nothing in Ala. Code §8-20A-1 to §8-20A-6 requires you to appear anywhere to open a claim. On arbitration, the Alabama rule is: if the manufacturer has a dispute program that follows federal rules, you must use it first.

“Easy Lemon made filling a claim super easy! Communication was excellent. When I needed to communicate additional information, or ask questions, they were quick to respond. Very professional. After the first offer was made, they were able to negotiate a better offer! I highly recommend to use them!”

“I honestly didn't think I had a case. My Subaru's engine consumed a quart of oil every 1,000 miles. Dealer said it was 'within spec.' Did that three times. I just figured I'd live with it.
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.”
