This is because the dealership and manufacturer must generally be afforded a reasonable number or repair visits or a number of days in a row to properly repair or replace the vehicle before a lemon law claim can successfully be made.
Get Repair Documents
After obtaining repairs by the dealership, the next step is generally to get the repair invoices and repair work orders from the brand new car dealership. These documents generally evidence the problems that you complained about and also the findings and work done by the repair shop.
