Idaho Lemon Law safeguards Boise car owners from defective vehicles that dealers can’t fix under warranty.
If your car qualifies, the manufacturer may have to repurchase, replace, or pay compensation for your defective vehicle.
How the RockfBoise ord Lemon Law Works
The Boise Lemon Law was created to protect Idaho residents from vehicles that repeatedly malfunction. If your new or leased vehicle keeps having issues, you could be entitled to:
- A refund of your purchase or lease payments
- A replacement vehicle of comparable value
- A cash settlement for loss in value or frustration
- Legal fees covered by the manufacturer when your case is successful
There are no out-of-pocket costs — the manufacturer pays your attorney fees when we win.
