Do You Qualify?
Four questions will help you find out in about a minute.
You Likely Qualify!
Your answers meet the basic lemon law test. Before anyone can confirm that your car qualifies, an attorney has to see the repair orders. We work on a contingency basis, and there are no attorney’s fees unless we recover for you.
You May Not Qualify Under Standard Lemon Law
The standard lemon law test does not seem to fit. Other consumer protection laws may still help with a car like yours. Contact us anyway.

Philadelphia Lemon Law Basics
Claims from Philadelphia fall under 73 Pa. Stat. §1951 to §1960, which covers new motor vehicles purchased, leased, or registered in Pennsylvania for personal, family, or household purposes. If the defect is still there once your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above, and you are within the deadline, you may have a claim. Our Pennsylvania Lemon Law Attorneys page has the statute text, the deadlines and the used-car rules.

Is Your Philadelphia Car a Lemon? Pennsylvania's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
Under Pennsylvania law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
In Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania, the deadline under the statute is the first 12 months, 12,000 miles, or the express warranty period, 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 Philadelphia
Philadelphia is in Philadelphia County. Philadelphia County's general civil trial court is the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, part of the First Judicial District. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.
The Pennsylvania lemon law is 73 Pa. Stat. §1951 to §1960. If the manufacturer has a dispute program that follows federal FTC rules, the consumer must use it first, but its decision does not bind the consumer.
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, a full refund, or a cash settlement. Under the statute, a consumer who prevails can recover reasonable 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 Manufacturer Owes You
What the manufacturer owes under Pennsylvania's statute is a replacement vehicle, a full refund, or a cash settlement. Most qualifying cases from Philadelphia end in one of the three results below.
Refund
The manufacturer takes the car back and pays you the purchase price, taxes, registration fees and finance charges, and it can subtract a reasonable use offset.
Replacement Vehicle
You get a comparable new car in place of the one with the defect, with the manufacturer covering the cost.
Cash Settlement
You keep driving the car and the manufacturer pays you for the lost value.
