Six steps from VIN to victory.

LemonIQ pulls live data from NHTSA: open safety recalls, technical service bulletins, and complaint patterns for your exact vehicle. You see exactly what federal records say about your car before you say a word.

Select your state and answer two questions: how many repair attempts, and is the vehicle still under warranty?

Every state has its own lemon law threshold — repair attempts, days out of service, and time window. LemonIQ applies your state's exact statute and tells you whether your case meets the bar. No guessing. No vague "you might qualify."

Describe the defect — what it is, how severe, how many times it's been in the shop.

The LemonIQ scoring engine combines your defect severity, repair count, warranty status, and state-specific thresholds into a single Case Score (0–100). It also pulls outcome data from similar historical cases to show you what typically happens when OEMs see cases like yours.

Review an attorney-reviewed demand letter drafted to your state's lemon law statute. E-sign. Send.

LemonIQ generates a demand letter citing your state's specific statute, your repair history, and the statutory remedy you're entitled to — refund or replacement. It's sent by USPS certified mail directly to the manufacturer's registered legal address via Lob.com.

Your portal shows a live countdown from the moment USPS confirms delivery.

Most state lemon laws give manufacturers a fixed window to respond — typically 30 days. LemonIQ tracks that window to the day. You'll see whether the OEM has responded, ignored your letter, or made a counter-offer — all in one dashboard.

If the OEM ignores you or offers less than your case is worth, your anonymized case is surfaced to law firms in the LemonIQ marketplace.

Law firms see your Case Score, state, defect category, and OEM response history — but not your name or contact info. Firms that want your case submit a bid. You choose whether to respond. If you engage, the firm covers all litigation costs on contingency. You keep 100% of your recovery minus the agreed contingency percentage.
