What we handle

Six ways a defective vehicle turns back into money.

Every claim below runs on the same fee arrangement: the manufacturer pays our fees when we win, and you pay nothing if we do not.

A dark sedan travelling a highway at speed

Manufacturer Buyback

The manufacturer repurchases the vehicle — down payment, monthly payments, taxes and fees returned, less a statutory offset for the miles you drove before the first repair.

A new coupe photographed on open ground at dusk

Replacement Vehicle

A comparable new vehicle instead of a refund, for drivers who would rather keep driving than unwind the whole deal.

Check my case ↗

Tail lights of a sports car glowing on a city street at dusk

Cash Settlement

You keep the car and the manufacturer pays for the defect and the value it cost you. Usually the fastest route when the vehicle is still drivable.

Check my case ↗

Close view of an engine bay, drive belts and pulleys

Breach of Warranty

Claims under the written and implied warranties when a manufacturer will not honour the coverage it sold you with the vehicle.

Check my case ↗

Vehicles raised on lifts inside a darkened service garage

Repeated Repair Attempts

The same defect back at the dealership again and again, or a vehicle out of service beyond the days the statute allows.

Dealer Fraud & Nondisclosure

Undisclosed accident damage, rolled-back odometers, salvage history, and vehicles sold as new that were never new.
