How your South Carolina claim gets built

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

Myrtle Beach Lemon Law

Myrtle Beach Lemon Law Basics

A Myrtle Beach car is judged against South Carolina's statute, S.C. Code §56-28-10 to §56-28-100, and that law covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in South Carolina for personal, family, or household use. 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 South Carolina Lemon Law Attorneys page.

We File the Claim

We write and send the paperwork, including any written notice to the manufacturer that SC 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.

S.C. Code §56-28-10 to §56-28-100

Is Your Myrtle Beach Car a Lemon? South Carolina's 3-Step Test

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

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

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In South Carolina 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 South Carolina the deadline is 12 months or 12,000 miles from original 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.

Horry County

Court and Venue in Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach is in Horry County. Horry County's general civil trial court is the Court of Common Pleas, the civil side of the circuit court in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit. South Carolina 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 South Carolina lemon law is S.C. Code §56-28-10 to §56-28-100. If the manufacturer's arbitration program is state-certified, the consumer must use it.

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 offset). A consumer who prevails may recover attorney fees.

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

Your Rights Under SC Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

Under the statute, the remedies open to South Carolina drivers are replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). If your Myrtle Beach car qualifies under SC law, the case usually ends in one of the three ways below.

Refund

You return the car and the manufacturer pays back the price, taxes, registration fees and finance charges, minus a reasonable use offset.

Replacement Vehicle

The manufacturer replaces the car with a comparable new one at its own cost.

Cash Settlement

You keep the car and receive a payment for its lost value. That payment is negotiated. The statute does not list it.

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on South Carolina law and on the paperwork Myrtle Beach drivers usually send us.

ELIGIBILITY

It may. Under S.C. Code §56-28-10 to §56-28-100, your Myrtle Beach car can qualify if a defect covered by the warranty is still there after 3 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in South Carolina for personal, family, or household use.

We handle any warranty defect that substantially impairs the car's use, value or safety and that the dealer could not fix. The defects we see most often are engine stalling and misfires, transmission shudder or failure, electrical faults, brake and steering problems, and driver-assist systems that brake or drift on their own. South Carolina requires only 3 repair attempts.

REMEDIES

S.C. Code §56-28-10 to §56-28-100 provides for replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). Which one you get depends on your repair history and on what the manufacturer offers.

In South Carolina, a consumer who wins may recover attorney's fees from the manufacturer. 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

Nothing upfront, and no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. In South Carolina, a consumer who wins may recover attorney's fees from the manufacturer. In most successful South Carolina claims, the manufacturer pays our fee. Repair orders are free from the dealer. We pay the filing costs while the case is open. To start, send us the repair orders for a free case review.

You will have one assigned attorney and a direct line. You get a copy of every letter we send and a note whenever the manufacturer responds. We first check your repair history against S.C. Code §56-28-10 to §56-28-100. Then written notice goes to the manufacturer, and we demand the statutory remedy, replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). Most cases settle at that stage. If a case does not settle, we take the next formal step that South Carolina law requires.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Are Saying

Easy Lemon has handled 1,500+ lemon law matters^‡.

“My Dodge Challenger's AC would blow hot air on the driver side but cold on passenger. Dealer recharged it twice, replaced a blend door actuator once. Problem came back every time. I was sweating through my shirt in August. Called Easy Lemon and Aaron Waldo said a climate control issue that makes driving uncomfortable counts. His team fought Dodge and got me a cash settlement. Got it fixed at a local shop and the AC has been cold ever since.”

“I had a good experience with Easy lemon. I had bought a used truck that had transmission issues before I even got it home. After a year of the dealership giving me the runaround, I reached out to Easy Lemon. It was a drawn out process dealing with the vehicle manufacturer. We got it done and I am happy with the results. Thanks to Vanessa, Antonio, Fabio, and the rest of the team that made this possible.”
