No Registration

​

When you buy a car, the car dealer is required to send the Department of Motor Vehicles a complete application and the required fees to register the car. California law provides that a car has to be currently registered if it is driven on public roads or highways. That means it is important to make sure the dealer has registered the car in your name. The dealer will probably give you a 90-day temporary operating permit that allows you to drive the car while you wait for the dealer to get the car registered. If it has been more than 90 days, or close to it, and the dealer has not gotten you the registration, you may have claims against the dealer. To learn more, please contact us.

No Title
 

When you buy a car from a car dealer, the dealer has to provide you with the Certificate of Ownership for the car (the “title”). The title proves that you own the car. If you paid for the car in full, the dealer should provide you with the title within 15 days. If you financed the purchase and it has been months since you bought the car and the dealer has not given you the title, you may have a claim that we can help with. 

If you have questions about your car’s registration or title, please contact the Gratch Law Group for a free consultation.
