Aston Martin Lemon Law Attorney

Yes. Even though the engine and transmission in many modern Aston Martin models are sourced from Mercedes-AMG, Aston Martin is the vehicle manufacturer and bears full responsibility for warranty repairs under California law. The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act holds the manufacturer of the vehicle, not the component supplier, accountable for defects. If your DB11, Vantage, or DBX has recurring engine or transmission problems that the authorized Aston Martin dealer cannot fix, you have a valid lemon law claim against Aston Martin. Lion Lemon understands the complexities of these shared-platform issues and will pursue your claim aggressively.

Aston Martin's extremely limited dealer network in California, with only a handful of authorized service centers in the entire state, often results in longer wait times for repair appointments and extended periods with your vehicle out of service. Under the Song-Beverly Act, every day your vehicle is at the dealer for warranty repairs counts toward the 30-day cumulative out-of-service threshold. The inconvenience and impracticality of traveling long distances to reach a qualified service center also supports the argument that defects substantially impair your use of the vehicle. Lion Lemon has successfully used these circumstances to strengthen Aston Martin lemon law claims.

Paint defects can absolutely form the basis of a California lemon law claim if they substantially impair the value of your vehicle. For an Aston Martin costing $150,000 to $300,000 or more, consumers rightfully expect flawless paint quality. If your vehicle exhibits clear coat failure, inconsistent paint thickness, premature stone chipping, or other finish defects that the dealer cannot correct, the Song-Beverly Act may provide you with a remedy. California courts have recognized that cosmetic defects on luxury vehicles can constitute a substantial impairment of value. Contact Lion Lemon for a free assessment of your paint defect claim.

Extended parts delays are a frequent complaint among Aston Martin owners in California, as many components must be shipped from the factory in Gaydon, England. While Aston Martin may present this as an unavoidable situation, every day your vehicle sits at the dealer waiting for parts counts toward the 30-day out-of-service threshold under the Song-Beverly Act. If your Aston Martin has been at the dealership for a cumulative 30 days or more for warranty repairs, including time spent waiting for parts, you may have a strong lemon law claim regardless of the number of repair attempts. Lion Lemon recommends documenting all communication about parts delays in writing.

Owning a limited-edition Aston Martin does not change your rights under California Lemon Law, but it can enhance your claim in important ways. Limited-production vehicles like the DBS Superleggera, V12 Vantage, or Valkyrie carry premium prices that amplify the financial impact of any defect. If you choose a refund rather than a replacement, the manufacturer must refund the full purchase price including any premium above MSRP if you purchased through an authorized dealer. If a replacement is requested, Aston Martin must provide a comparable vehicle, which may be difficult for truly limited models. Lion Lemon will ensure you receive the maximum compensation allowed under the Song-Beverly Act.
