Legal Question in Consumer Law in Wisconsin

Re: Lemon Law on auto maintainence

The Lemon Law in only applicable to new cars within the

first year of ownership. You may have warranty rights

on a used car, depending upon the terms or your purchase.

If this is a repair for a vehicle out of warranty,

there are numerous highly technical requirements for

mechanics charges in the Wisconsin Administrative Code.

A good attorney could assist you with this. Unfortunately,

in simple repair cases, the cost of the representation sometimes

exceeds the value of the work and therefore almost forces a

consumer to handle the case themselves in small claims

court. Should you decide to hire an attorney, however, there

are provisions for recovery of your attorney fees if you

are succesfull in the litigation. Feel free to

send a private e-mail for further details.
