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.

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

Savannah Lemon Law Basics
A Savannah car is judged against Georgia's statute, Ga. Code §10-1-780 to §10-1-795, and that law covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Georgia 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 Georgia Lemon Law Attorneys page.
How a Savannah Lemon Law Claim Works
This is what happens after you call us from Savannah.
Document Your Repairs
Keep every repair order from your Savannah dealership, even the short ones. Under Georgia's lemon law, those papers are the written proof of each repair attempt.
Free Case Evaluation
We read your repair history against the Georgia 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 the notice to the manufacturer by statutory overnight delivery or certified mail, return receipt requested, that Georgia law requires. We deal with the manufacturer for you.
You Get Compensated
A successful case usually ends with a refund, a replacement vehicle or a cash settlement. There are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.
Is Your Savannah Car a Lemon? Georgia's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
Under Georgia law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
In Georgia the test is 3 repair attempts for the same defect (1 for serious safety defects) or 30 cumulative calendar days 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, 1 repair attempt is enough. Count the visits on your repair orders to see where you stand.
Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?
In Georgia, you must apply for state arbitration within 1 year after the lemon law rights period ends, or within 60 days after a certified manufacturer program's decision if that is later. The rights period is 2 years or 24,000 miles from delivery, 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 Savannah
Savannah is in Chatham County. Chatham County's general civil trial court is the Superior Court of Chatham County, part of the Eastern Judicial Circuit. Georgia 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 Georgia lemon law is Ga. Code §10-1-780 to §10-1-795. 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 1 for serious safety defects), or 30 cumulative calendar 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 state arbitration panel may award attorney fees to a consumer who prevails. If the manufacturer appeals and the consumer prevails in court, the recovery includes attorney fees and court costs.
Open recalls on your vehicle can be checked against NHTSA records at easylemon.com/recalls. A recall alone is not a lemon law claim.

Georgia Lemon Law: The Rules That Decide a Savannah Claim
We covered the repair test and the arbitration rule in the Court and Venue section above. Below are other Georgia rules that can matter to a Savannah claim.
Notable provisions of Georgia Lemon Law
Georgia requires the consumer to notify the manufacturer by statutory overnight delivery or certified mail, return receipt requested, once a reasonable number of repair attempts has been reached. The manufacturer then has 28 days to make a final attempt to repair. One repair attempt is sufficient for a serious safety defect. Trucks over 12,000 lbs gross vehicle weight rating, motorcycles, and golf carts are excluded.

What The Manufacturer Owes You
What the manufacturer owes under Georgia's statute is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. Most qualifying cases from Savannah 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. This is a negotiated result, since the statute does not list it.
