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 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.

Valdosta Lemon Law Basics
In Valdosta, as anywhere else in Georgia, a lemon law claim is brought under Ga. Code §10-1-780 to §10-1-795. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Georgia for personal, family, or household use, but being covered is only the start. The car also has to reach one of the repair limits in the box above, with the defect still unrepaired and the deadline not yet passed. If it does, you may have a claim. Our Georgia Lemon Law Attorneys page goes through the statute text, the filing deadlines and used cars in more detail.
How a Valdosta Lemon Law Claim Works
This is what happens after you call us from Valdosta.

Keep every repair order from your Valdosta 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 Valdosta 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 Valdosta
Valdosta is in Lowndes County. Lowndes County's general civil trial court is the Superior Court of Lowndes County, part of the Southern 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 Valdosta Claim
Beyond the repair test and the arbitration rule, which are both in Court and Venue above, Georgia law has some provisions of its own.
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
Georgia's statute lists a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. In practice, a qualifying Valdosta case usually ends in one of three ways, and the cards below explain each.
Refund
You return the car. The price comes back to you, and so do the taxes, the registration fees and the finance charges, after a reasonable use offset is taken off.
Replacement Vehicle
You trade the defective car for a comparable new one, and the manufacturer pays what the swap costs.
Cash Settlement
The car stays with you, and the manufacturer pays for the drop in value the defect caused. The statute does not provide for this. It comes out of negotiation.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Easy Lemon has handled 3,000+ lemon law cases‡.
My brother-in-law, a mechanic, said 'that's not normal for a modern engine. Call someone.' So I did. I spoke to Steven Nassi at Easy Lemon.
He explained that excessive oil consumption is a known defect in certain Subaru engines. He'd handled similar cases. He said, 'They tell you it's normal because they don't want to replace the short block.' He already knew the internal service bulletins.
His team filed the claim. Subaru settled with a cash payment that covered my oil expenses and then some. I was genuinely surprised it worked.
Why different? Steven saw a pattern I didn't know existed. They don't just take cases; they know manufacturer secrets.”
