Do You Qualify?
It takes about a minute. Four questions, and you find out if the lemon law may apply.
You Likely Qualify!
Your answers line up with the basic lemon law test. The next step is for an attorney to confirm that from your repair orders. Because we work on a contingency basis, there are no attorney’s fees unless we recover for you.
You May Not Qualify Under Standard Lemon Law
Your answers fall outside the usual lemon law test. That does not rule out other consumer protection laws. Contact us anyway.

How your Colorado claim gets built
Our lemon law work is directed by Steven P. Nassi, Esq., Managing Partner, Easy Lemon by RockPoint Law P.C. A Colorado claim gets built on two things: the Colorado 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.

Boulder Lemon Law Basics
A Boulder car is judged against Colorado's statute, Colo. Rev. Stat. §42-10-101 to §42-10-107, and that law covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Colorado, used primarily for personal, family, or household purposes (passenger vehicles, pickups and vans carrying up to 10 people; motor homes excluded). So the first question is coverage, and the second is whether your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above. If they do, and the defect is still there and the deadline has not run out, you may have a claim. The statute text, the filing deadlines and how used cars are treated are all on our Colorado Lemon Law Attorneys page.
How a Boulder Lemon Law Claim Works
This is what happens after you call us from Boulder.

Free Case Evaluation
We read your repair history against the Colorado statute and tell you whether the car qualifies. The review costs nothing, and there are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.
We File the Claim
We write and send the paperwork, including any written notice to the manufacturer that CO law requires. We deal with the manufacturer for you.
You Get Compensated
The case ends with a refund, a replacement vehicle or a cash settlement. There are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.

Is Your Boulder Car a Lemon? Colorado's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
Under Colorado law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
In Colorado the test is 3 repair attempts for the same defect (or 2 for a safety-based defect; 4 attempts for vehicles bought or leased before Aug 7, 2024), or 24 cumulative business days (30 for vehicles bought or leased before Aug 7, 2024) out of service, as long as the claim is brought within the deadline in step 3. For a defect that could cause serious bodily injury or death, 2 repair attempts are enough. Count the visits on your repair orders to see where you stand.
Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?
In Colorado the deadline is 30 months from the date of original delivery (for vehicles bought or leased before Aug 7, 2024: within 6 months after the warranty term expires or 1 year from delivery, whichever is earlier). 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.
Court and Venue in Boulder
Boulder is in Boulder County. Boulder County's general civil trial court is the District Court, Boulder County, part of the 20th Judicial District. Colorado 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 Colorado lemon law is Colo. Rev. Stat. §42-10-101 to §42-10-107. If the manufacturer has a dispute program that follows federal FTC rules, the consumer must use it first.
The repair test in the statute is 3 repair attempts for the same defect (or 2 for a safety-based defect; 4 attempts for vehicles bought or leased before Aug 7, 2024), or 24 cumulative business days (30 for vehicles bought or leased before Aug 7, 2024) with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). Fees run both ways: the court awards reasonable attorney fees to the side that prevails, consumer or manufacturer.

Colorado Automotive Industry Consumer Protection Act (Lemon Law): The Rules That Decide a Boulder Claim
The Colorado 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 Colorado law.
Notable provisions of Colorado Automotive Industry Consumer Protection Act (Lemon Law)
Uses "business days" for the out-of-service calculation. For vehicles bought or leased on or after Aug 7, 2024, coverage runs 2 years or 24,000 miles from delivery, whichever comes first; for earlier vehicles it runs to the end of the warranty term or the first year from delivery, whichever comes first. Written notification by certified mail to the manufacturer is required before the presumption applies.

What The Manufacturer Owes You
Colorado law provides for replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). There are three ways a qualifying case from Boulder usually ends under CO law.
Refund
Give the car back and the manufacturer repays the price you paid, with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges. A reasonable use offset comes off that amount.
Replacement Vehicle
The manufacturer hands you a comparable new car and pays the cost of the exchange.
Cash Settlement
The car stays yours and the manufacturer pays for the value the defect took off it. You will not find this option in the statute. It is reached by negotiation.
