Automotive Blog

While most of us are lucky enough never to experience the agony of buying a car that turns out to be a lemon, for those of us who are caught in such a situation, it’s important to know where you can find both information and advocacy when the dealer drops the ball. That’s why TexasLemon.com is such a great resource.

A service provided by the law offices of Kevin Le, TexasLemon.com is a detailed archive of everything you need to know about “lemon laws,” including how to document your case, and how long you have before the statute of limitations runs out. There’s also extensive information about different auto-sales related scams, like changing interest rates for financing because “paperwork was wrong” or credit scores placed you outside the guidelines for promotion, and tips on how to spot such attempts at fraud, and how to resolve them.

TexasLemon.com is much more than just dry facts and information, however. The site incorporates a home page which introduces you to the subject, as well as a biography of Kevin Le himself. There’s a collection of frequently asked questions about what to do if you think your car is a lemon that also addresses things like how much an attorney will typically charge for such a case, and how to go about contacting these law offices specifically, and the site also gathers all the actual Texas legal codes and warranty regulations in one place for visitors to review and refer to if required.

In addition to all that, TexasLemon.com also has an affiliated blog, TexasLemonLawBlog.com which is linked in the toolbar. The blog addresses lemon laws outside of Texas, often by comparing them to the Texas standard. It’s not updated every day, but the information presented is both topical and as current as possible, with new posts whenever there is a change in legislation, or an important milestone (such as the 20th anniversary of the lemon law in Florida).

While it’s not clear how much of the text of the blog – or the site – is written my Mr. Le himself, it’s made explicitly clear that he stands behind the information presented on behalf of himself and his firm. It’s also clear that he’s a big believer in consumer advocacy, and consumer education.

We at AutomotiveBlog hope you’ll never have to use Kevin Le’s services, but if you do live in Texas, and find yourself stuck with a lemon on wheels, we’re confident that this site, and the law offices of Kevin Le, can help you.

You may not be able to squeeze blood from a turnip, but TexasLemon.com proves that when handed a lemon, you really can make lemonade.
