How your Virginia claim gets built

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

Staunton Lemon Law

Staunton Lemon Law Basics

A Staunton car is judged against Virginia's statute, Va. Code §59.1-207.9 to §59.1-207.16, and that law covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Virginia 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 Virginia Lemon Law Attorneys page.

Step by Step

How a Staunton Lemon Law Claim Works

This is what happens after you call us from Staunton.

Document Your Repairs

Keep every repair order from your Staunton dealership, even the short ones. VA lemon law needs written proof of each repair attempt, and those papers are the proof.

Free Case Evaluation

We read your repair history against the Virginia 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 VA 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.

Va. Code §59.1-207.9 to §59.1-207.16

Is Your Staunton Car a Lemon? Virginia's 3-Step Test

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

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

Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?

In Virginia the test is 3 repair attempts for the same defect (or 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 Virginia the deadline is 18 months from the date of 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.

Independent city

Court and Venue in Staunton

Staunton is an independent city; the Census lists it as Staunton city, outside any county. Its general civil trial court is the Staunton Circuit Court, part of the 25th Judicial Circuit of Virginia. Virginia 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 Virginia lemon law is Va. Code §59.1-207.9 to §59.1-207.16. The consumer must use a state-certified arbitration program before litigation.

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 full refund (minus reasonable use offset). A consumer who prevails is entitled to reasonable 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.

What the Statute Says

Virginia Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act (Virginia Lemon Law): The Rules That Decide a Staunton Claim

Beyond the repair test, the arbitration rule and the deadline, which are all in Court and Venue above, Virginia law has some provisions of its own.

Notable provisions of Virginia Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act (Virginia Lemon Law)

Virginia is consumer-friendly with only 3 repair attempts required. One attempt is sufficient for defects creating serious risk of death or injury. Covers 18 months from delivery. Written notice to manufacturer required.

Your Rights Under VA Law

What The Manufacturer Owes You

By statute, the Virginia remedy is replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). When a Staunton car qualifies under VA law, the case usually ends in one of three ways.

Refund

The manufacturer buys the car back. It repays the price along with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges, but it may deduct a reasonable use offset.

Replacement Vehicle

Instead of money you get a comparable new car, and the swap costs you nothing.

Cash Settlement

The statute does not set this one. It comes from negotiation: you keep the car, and the manufacturer pays for the value the defect took off it.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below are based on Virginia law and on the paperwork Staunton drivers usually send us.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Usually not. Most lemon law cases we handle for Staunton drivers settle with the manufacturer before a lawsuit is filed. On arbitration, the Virginia rule is: must use state-certified arbitration program before litigation. We prepare that filing for you.

ELIGIBILITY

Va. Code §59.1-207.9 to §59.1-207.16 covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Virginia for personal, family, or household use. If you bought used, send the paperwork anyway, including any written warranty that came with the car.

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. Virginia is consumer-friendly with only 3 repair attempts required.

REMEDIES

In Virginia, 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

Nothing upfront, and no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. In Virginia, the manufacturer pays the consumer's attorney's fees when the consumer wins. In most successful Virginia 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 Va. Code §59.1-207.9 to §59.1-207.16. 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 Virginia law requires.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Are Saying

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

“My Ram 2500's check engine light came on for the same evap code four times in six months. Dealer kept replacing gas caps, sensors, the whole runaround. Light would stay off for a week then pop back on. I was so tired of seeing that orange glow on my dash every morning. Called Easy Lemon and they took my service records and ran with it. Four months later, Ram sent a settlement check. No more anxiety every time I start the truck.”

“I had an excellent experience with Easylemon! They went above and beyond to help me return my car and successfully recover my money. The whole process could have been stressful, but their team handled everything professionally, efficiently, and with great attention to detail.

I truly appreciate their support, transparency, and dedication throughout the entire process. They kept me informed and made sure my rights were protected every step of the way.

If you’re ever in a similar situation, I highly recommend Easylemon. They really know what they’re doing and genuinely care about their clients.

Thank you again for your outstanding help!”
